Product description
Planting Seeds For Life
Five Blocks. One Press. More Output.
Press. Seed. Grow.
Why Roots Matter
The original soil blocker. British made since the 1960s. Built for gardeners who grow with intention.
The Mini 5's 1.5" blocks are sized for gardeners who start seeds and go straight to transplant ? no intermediate block sizes, no nesting steps. More starts per tray, less mix, less space under lights.
The Mini 5 does not accept cubic inserts or Micro 20 nesting blocks. For the complete Micro 20 → Mini 4 → Maxi nesting system, see the Mini 4.
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.
Fill your container with moistened soil blocking mix. Press the Mini 5 firmly down and lift to reveal five perfectly formed 1.5" blocks, ready for seeding.
Each block has a built-in indentation sized for your seed. One seed per block ? straight to transplant when ready.
The soil block goes directly into garden soil ? no pot to remove, no roots to untangle. Roots stay intact from first press to final planting.
Simple Tool. Serious Results.
The Mini 5 is the straightforward path to soil blocking. Start your seeds, grow them out, transplant directly to the garden ? no intermediate block sizes, no extra tools, no complicated steps. Five 1.5" blocks per press suits most vegetables, herbs, and flowers from first press to final planting.
The Mini 5 works exactly like all Ladbrooke soil blockers ? same blocking mix, same pressing motion, same air-pruned roots that go into the ground without disturbance.
The Mini 5 ships with six 3/8" seed pins ? which you must insert before your first press. Five for the blocker, one spare.
Plastic cells force roots to circle and crowd. Soil blocks naturally air-prune roots at the edges, signaling the plant to branch outward instead. No circling, no crowding. The result is a denser, more vigorous root system that thrives the moment it hits garden soil.
