POV: You just discovered the secret to 10x healthier roots. ๐งฑ๐ชด I'll be honest: my garden shed is still full of my old plastic trays, and I still use them for all sorts of vegetables! But this year, I'm moving my "heavy hitters" into soil blocks, and the results are undeniable. By using blocks, seedlings "air prune"-roots stop at the edge instead of circling, creating a massive, fibrous system that's ready to explode once planted. A ยฝ Plus, it's a game-changer for reducing transplant shock and plastic waste! The 10x Root Recipe: ๐ฑ 4 parts sifted FoxFarm Coco Loco (coconut coir base!) 1 part Horticultural Vermiculite (the moisture sponge) 1 part Sifted Compost (the "glue") Warm Water: Mix until it feels like wet oatmeal or mashed potatoes! Save this recipe for your next seed-starting session! I'm still rocking the hybrid setup-reusing what I have while upgrading where it counts. Are you Team Soil Blocks Team Plastic Trays *?
