## Description

desertcart.com : Authentic Ladbrooke Mini 5 Soil Blocker — Five 1.5" Blocks Per Press, Made in England : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Easy to use - Best cell block maker I've tried. As long as the soil is the right consistency, it makes sturdy blocks all the time. I'm most impressed by the spring mechanism because it's the best I've tried so far. It releases the soil block with ease.
Review: Excellent quality, exactly as expected - The Ladbrooke Mini 5 soil block maker arrived in the superior condition I expected. It’s solid, well-made, and clearly built to last. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it feels sturdy and precise in the hand—no flimsy parts or rough edges. This is exactly what I wanted for starting seeds, and the quality matches Ladbrooke’s reputation. Very pleased with the purchase.

## Features

- The Mini 5 makes five 1.5" soil blocks per press — ideal for gardeners who want more starts per tray, less mix used, and less space under lights.
- Manufactured in England since the 1960s. Premium EP-coated steel resists corrosion, moisture, and soil chemicals. Built to last a lifetime of seed starting seasons.
- Includes six 3/8" seed pins — which you must insert before your first press. Five for the blocker, one spare. Seed pins create the seed dimple in each block.
- Standalone tool — the Mini 5 does not connect to the Ladbrooke nesting system. For the complete Micro 20 → Mini 4 → Maxi progression, start with the Mini 4.
- Soil blocks eliminate plastic pots entirely. No pots to buy, clean, store or throw away. Roots air-prune naturally at the block edges — no circling, no crowding, virtually no transplant shock.
- The straightforward path to soil blocking — start your seeds, grow them out, transplant directly to the garden. No intermediate block sizes, no extra tools, no complicated steps.
- Authentic Ladbrooke — LADBROOKE SOIL BLOCKERS and MADE IN UK stamped on every tool. Not a copy, not a knockoff. The original since the 1960s.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time using a soil blocker. Working great so far!
*by A***T on March 11, 2026*

I waited a while before purchasing this soil blocker. I was looking at price and watching videos to learn how to use it. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Ladbrooke Mini 5, 1.5" x 1.5". It took me a little bit to learn what the correct amount of water and soil mix to use but in no time I was making soil blocks. This tool is well made and very easy to clean just using water after each use. It should be a long lasting investment for years to come.
