December 27, 2022Hi, I am a new lifetime seedtime member. I grow in zone 3b and I have decided to do permaculture food forest gardening, I am researching greenhouses and block soil propagation. I intend on starting my annual vegetbles and flowers in my greenhouse along with growing my tomatoes there for the season. I just need to figure out what blocking supplies to buy and how many I need.

May 16, 2023You most likely have found what you want by now but I got the Swift blocker and really like it.

February 15, 2023I recommend watching Elliot Coleman’s videos on soil block from the 1980’s linked here. He talks about his equipment plus he farms in your growing zone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYImh4tZkmg. His latest book, I get from our library, gives a table of soil block size to use for each major vegetable.
