Breakdown

Tiny starter blocks in a clear grid
The Ladbrooke Micro 20 presses twenty 3/4 inch soil blocks at a time. The finished blocks are small, tidy, and shaped for close seed-starting work in a protected tray.
This tool fits fine seeds and careful sowing rounds. Each block has a top dimple, so seeds have a clear place to land.
Fine mix matters here
Micro blocks ask for a smooth, well-moistened blend. Screened seed-starting mix, hydrated coir, and fine texture pieces help the small cubes release cleanly and hold together in the tray.
Keep water gentle during the first days. A mister, capillary mat, or shallow tray watering habit helps protect the shape of the blocks.
It supports a nested path
The Micro 20 works especially well as part of a nested soil-block setup. Small starts can move from the micro block into a 2 inch block when cube inserts have shaped the receiving pocket.
That gives the seed shelf a compact start and a clear next step.
