Jessalyn Pettigrew - Soil Blocking

Looking for a way to start your seeds in a way that takes up less space, produces healthier plants, costs less, and involves less waste? Enter soil blocking! What is soil blocking? 

Soil-blocking is an incredibly effective seed-starting method that supports vigorous seedlings with roots that quickly reestablish growth upon transplanting. Soil-blocking also eliminates the need for plastic pots or plug trays, making it a more affordable, less waste-producing method of seed starting.

Jessalyn Pettigrew, owner and operator of Mossy Gate Flower Farm, has been using soil blocking on her farm for six years and is excited to share the strategies and insights she’s learned along the way! In this class, you’ll learn the best tools and materials for soil blocking and be guided through the process from soil to seedling.

This is an introductory, comprehensive class and is especially designed for those new to soil blocking. No experience required.
