Soil Cube Tool Arrives in the Mail

Today a little box with my soil cube came in the mail.  I ordered the tool from soilcube.com.

Last year, there wasn't much time to plan things out for my garden and we just bought most of our plants from a nursery.  They weren't even open pollinated varieties.

Now that I've learned a small amount about gardening, I want to try to start my own plants inside this winter.

You can start plants in little containers.  But the roots can bang into the sides of the container.  Depending on when you start and the weather outside, you might have to put the little plants into bigger containers to keep them from getting all root bound.

That's where the soil cube has an advantage.  There is no container at all. The plants grow right in little cubes that you make up with the tool.

I still need to make trays, shelves, and a grow light system inside the house.  But now I have the soil cube tool, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
