Review: Excellent Quality and Works Perfectly - This soil block maker is built really well and feels sturdy with every use. It makes consistent blocks that hold together nicely and helps cut down on plastic use. It’s a great tool for starting seeds and the quality is better than I expected. The price was great and I’m very happy with the purchase. Review: Save Much Time At Seeding - Years ago, I had this larger one and a smaller one and loved 'em. Years move on, stuff moves on and here it is Spring again. I am pleased to note that this large soil blocker is just as it was 30 years ago. Tip: take care making your soil, bedding, potting mix. It needs to hang together enough that you can pick up the blocks for transplanting. Fill each cube completely full, then turn it over and press down on a flat surface before ejecting them. Eject into a wood or plastic flat. ## Features - Commercial grade, stand-up, floor soil blocker. The Multi 20 creates twenty 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" soil blocks at a time. This soil blocker can be used with 5/8" seed Pins or 1" Dowel Pins - perfect for planting in larger quantities! Please note that Seed Pins are included with this product but Dowel Pins need to be purchased separately if desired. - Soil blockers are fun and easy to use, and offer an excellent growing medium. Potting soil is compressed wet into the soil block mold and then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle. Very simple to use and handle. Soil blockers make a "pot-less" pot, and can be used for all seeds, and are great to use for cuttings as well. With soil blocks, roots are air-pruned and transplant shock, stunting, slow-growth is greatly reduced. - Soil blocking offers an eco-friendly system that eliminates the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots. - Made by Ladbrooke, makers of the highest quality products! Made in England, Ladbrooke soil blocking tools are made from zinc coated steel that will last for years. These are utilitarian, hand-made gardening tools, made of robust zinc-plated steel construction. Cosmetic blemishes and water bathing marks made during manufacturing are natural, and in no way alter the functionality of the tool. - Plant germination kit for planting seeds, starting seeds, germinating seeds ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BUV4OOK | | Best Sellers Rank | #746,914 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,801 in Garden Tool Sets | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (17) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 8.93 pounds | | Manufacturer | Ladbrooke | | Product Dimensions | 32 x 12 x 10 inches | ## Images ![Ladbrooke Authentic Soil Block Maker Multi 20 Commercial Long Handle, Made in England - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41WN98jUt8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the bottom of block to handle?** A: All of the long-handle Ladbrooke soil blockers stand about 32" tall. **Q: How many blocks fit in a standard 1020 tray?** A: You can fit three rounds of the Multi 20 soil blocks into a 1020 tray. There will be room left along both the long edge and short edges of the tray. The Multi 35 Soil Blocker was designed to best fill a 1020 tray. It was designed in cooperation with US customers after the other long-handled soil blockers were already in distribution. You can see the Multi 35 here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N30A4QL **Q: Does the 1.5 multi handle 20 designed use cube inserts too** A: The Multi 20 with 1.5" soil cells is not recommended for use with cubic inserts. The cell walls generally are too thin and will likely crumble with that cube insert. The cells are just slightly too small to be optimal for this purpose. The Multi 12 and Multi 6 long-handle soil blockers can take cubic inserts. **Q: Do I need some sort of seed insert to purchase separately ?** A: Hi, the Multi 20 comes with 5/8" seed pins in each soil block square. Longer 1" seed pins are available in sets of 4, only if you want a little longer indentation but not necessay to use this. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality and Works Perfectly *by M***. on August 3, 2025* This soil block maker is built really well and feels sturdy with every use.

It was a sacrificial purchase, but it is amazing. Don't buy however unless you have time to tend the blocks. They dry out in the summer really quickly. Easy to waste seed.
