The new Johnny's Handheld Soil Blocker is designed to simplify and greatly reduce the labor needed to make uniform 1020 trays of soil blocks. Each compression produces two rows of six neatly compressed soil blocks. Now you can get the benefits of soil blocking (reduced transplant shock, less plastic waste, and lower cost) without the repetitious handwork.
Benefits
- Heavy-duty stainless-steel grid and metal construction will last for years, keeping your costs low and production high
- High-strength cast aluminum alloy plungers won't flex or deform, evenly compressing each soil block and ensuring consistent blocks tray after tray
- Designed to fit 1020 flats so you don't have to change your process to conform to soil blocker formatting
- Ergonomic design shifts the work from your fingers to your palms and arms reducing fatigue and speeding up block production
