Authentic Ladbrooke 6-Pc Master Grower Nesting System — Maxi, Mini 4, Micro 20, Cubic Inserts, Dowel Pins, Seed Pins, Made in England

Sixty years ago, Mike Ladbrooke pressed the first soil block in the English countryside. The 6-Pc Master Grower Set brings that complete system to your garden — every tool needed from first seed to final transplant, in one box.

The Micro 20 makes twenty 3/4" starter blocks per press — ideal for fine seeds like lettuce, basil, and tomatoes. When seedlings are ready to move up, the Cubic Inserts snap into the Mini 4 so those starter blocks nest directly inside the Mini 4's 2" blocks. When it's time to grow on, Mini 4 blocks nest into the Maxi's 4" blocks — no repotting, no root disturbance, no plastic pots at any stage.

Soil blocks naturally air-prune roots at the edges, signaling the plant to branch inward instead of circling. The result is a dense, vigorous root system that thrives the moment it hits garden soil. Plants don't stall after transplant. They keep growing.

The three sisters who have manufactured every Ladbrooke tool in England since 1998 build each piece to Mike Ladbrooke's original standard. Premium EP-coated steel. MADE IN UK stamped on every tool. This is the last seed starting investment you'll ever make.

Works for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and cuttings. Includes six 3/8" seed pins and two 7/8" dowel pins — insert seed pins before your first press.

• The Ladbrooke 6-Pc Master Grower Set includes the complete nesting system: Maxi, Mini 4, and Micro 20 soil blockers, plus Cubic Inserts, 3/8" Seed Pins, and 7/8" Dowel Pins. Everything you need to start blocking the day it arrives.
• Manufactured in England since the 1960s. Premium EP-coated steel resists corrosion, moisture, and soil chemicals. Built to last a lifetime of seed starting seasons.
• Three block sizes work together in sequence — Micro 20 makes 3/4" starter blocks that nest into Mini 4's 2" blocks, which nest into the Maxi's 4" blocks. One continuous system from germination to transplant. No repotting, no root disturbance.
• Press moistened soil blocking mix into the mold and eject directly into your tray. Each block has a built-in seed dimple. Roots air-prune naturally at the block edges — no circling, no crowding, virtually no transplant shock.
• Soil blocks eliminate plastic pots entirely. No pots to buy, clean, store, or throw away. An eco-friendly system that removes plastic from every stage of seed starting.
• Cubic inserts snap into the Mini 4 so Mini 4 blocks can receive Micro 20 starter blocks. Seed pins create the seed dimple in each block. Dowel pins create larger holes for pre-sprouted seeds or cuttings.
• Authentic Ladbrooke — look for the Ladbrooke logo and MADE IN UK stamped on every tool. Not a copy, not a knockoff. The original since the 1960s.

Soil blocks are fun and easy to make. You can find instructions on "How to Make Soil Blocks in Four Easy Steps" in our blog articles.
