Good to see that the soil blocks are working for you. It’s very informative to use pictures. I’m encouraged to take some photos of my own soil blocks.

Yesterday I planted out some of my earliest soil-block seedlings, taking Charles’ advice and covering with fleece. But it has been so cold and today we had some snow. (I’m on the south coast of East Sussex).

What I noticed is how compact the soil blocks are, when first sowed. It’s easy to produce a lot of plants in a small space. For example, you’ve got 32 sweetcorn in a space 16″ x 8″. When they’re set out in the garden, say 35 cm apart. it will need a lot of room by comparison.
