Preparation is key to a smooth and productive soil blocking season. By organising your greenhouse and planning ahead, you can sow seeds efficiently and avoid last-minute problems.
Clean benches and trays
Organise tools and soil blocker equipment
Check ventilation and temperature control
Set up grow lights or heat mats if needed
Check seed packets for sowing dates
Group plants by germination temperature
Plan succession sowing for continuous harvests
Test soil pH
Add compost or organic matter
Clear weeds early
Good preparation saves time, improves germination rates and ensures your seedlings are ready when planting conditions are right.
A little organisation before sowing season makes soil blocking easier, more enjoyable and far more successful.
