Seed Starting: Soil Blocking for Better Seed Germination
Are you frustrated with your current method of seed starting? Soil-blocking is an excellent way to start seeds indoors, with very little space and great germination rates!
As a flower farmer, I start literally hundreds of seeds at any given time. By soil blocking, I just need a small amount of space indoors before everything heads outside.
In this workshop, we will go through the steps to soil block planting, and you’ll have a chance to try it out for yourself. You’ll learn which soils work best, and how to make them work better. You’ll use a blocker to create your own little tray of blocks and then choose from a selection of spring flower seeds to plant in it. You can take this little tray of 40(!) flowers home and watch your handiwork bloom.
I’ll walk you through all the steps of when to keep things warm, when to water and feed, when to move into the light, and when (and how) to harden off your seedlings.
