Soil cube tool in action
We tried out our new soil block tool today.
Pure stump dirt cubes didn't hold together very well. But half-and-half stump dirt/potting soil cubes did much better.
We'll keep you posted about how well the herb seedlings fare once they germinate and start to grow.

I made a soil blocker many years ago- worked fine, about the same as the expandable peat blocks, but with more effort and less cost. I think yours will do fine.
