Ladbrooke Mini 4 Soil Blocker — Four 2" Blocks Per Press, Made in England

Sixty years ago, Mike Ladbrooke pressed the first soil block in the English countryside. The three sisters who carry that work forward today still manufacture every tool in England, built to the same standard.

The Mini 4 makes four perfect 2" soil blocks per press. Each block has a seed dimple pre-formed and ready. Fill your container with moistened soil blocking mix, press firmly down, and lift to reveal four blocks ready for seeding. No plastic pots to buy, clean, or store. Seeds germinate in the same block they'll grow in until transplanting — with zero root disturbance and virtually no transplant shock.

Soil blocks naturally air-prune roots at the edges, signaling the plant to branch outward instead of circling. The result is a denser, more vigorous root system that thrives the moment it hits garden soil.

Works for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and cuttings. Compatible with the Ladbrooke Micro 20 and Maxi soil blockers as part of the complete nesting system.

• Part of the Ladbrooke nesting system — Micro 20 blocks nest into Mini 4 blocks, Mini 4 blocks nest into the Maxi. One continuous system from germination to transplant with zero repotting.
• Soil blocks eliminate plastic pots entirely. No pots to buy, clean, store or throw away. Roots air-prune naturally at the block edges — no circling, no crowding, virtually no transplant shock.
• Eco-friendly seed starting from day one. No plastic trays, no plastic pots. Just soil, seeds, and a tool built to grow with you.
• Includes six 3/8" seed pins — pre-insert into the blocker before your first press. Seed pins create the seed dimple in each block. Keep them with your tool between seasons.
• Authentic Ladbrooke — look for the Ladbrooke logo on the handle. Made in UK stamped on every tool. Not a copy, not a knockoff. The original since the 1960s.
• FREE Shipping!

Please note that 3/8" Seed Pins are included with the Mini 4, but Cubic Inserts and 7/8" Dowel Pins must be purchased separately.
