This year I decided to make my own soil block tool. I got inspired to try after looking for an alternative to plastic seedling growing trays. I came across this website which explains what soil blocks are and how to make them.
In short, you will need a mixture of at least three simple ingredients. 1/3 of the mixture will hold moisture, 1/3 will help with water drainage and the final 1/3 will be compost material. With just enough water to hold it's shape after being pressed.
This is my first attempt at this and I'm hoping the mixture I made will be enough for the seeds to begin growing.
