Starting Seedlings in Soil Blocks Using the Soil Cube Tool

We recently purchased the soil cube tool from Deeply Rooted Organics.  We have been starting seedlings indoors using Jiffy pots and pellets.  This technique has worked fairly well for us but it has become more and more expensive each year as we have begun to start more and more vegetables, herbs, and flowers.  After hearing about the soil cube tool on an episode of The Survival Podcast we decided that we would try it out.

New Greenhouse for Starting from Seeds and Growing Seedlings

About a month ago we finally got around to setting up our new greenhouse.  Actually it isn’t really new.  I received it as a gift about 3 or so years ago.  In the process of setting it up, we had a malfunction that delayed the setup process, then eventually I just decided to scrap the whole project.  But this spring I decided that I would try to set it up anyway and make some on the fly adjustments to the malfunction.  Anyway, after 3 or 4 hours of setup, our mini greenhouse was finally up.  So far it has served us well and has withstood a number of spring storms with high winds.
