Square Soil Blocks

[jbest123]

Well, I found a square container the size I wanted. It is a Tupperware type and if my DW does not find out, I will be in good shape. I followed the same procedure as the round one and it produces a 2″ X 2″ X 2″ soil block with a divot.

My mix of 50/50 fine compost and fine vermiculite + 1/2 cup of dried blood per cubic ft of mix seem to be holding together well

Looks good. How to you keep them from falling apart. Is there a special mix or watering technique. I have a pot maker but it always collapses and is hard to move once it gets wet. Bottom watering does not work for me unless I can drain the container.

See above for the mix and below for a link to how I don't watter.
