Soil Blocking for Seedlings & Using Indoor Grow Lights

Soil Blocking for Seedlings & Using Indoor Grow Lights, 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, February 21, Boundary County Extension Office 6791 Main Street, Bonners Ferry. Learn how to save space and time by starting your seedlings in soil blocks. These are small cubes of compressed soil that serve as both the container and the soil medium all-in-one. This technique allows seeds to rapidly germinate and creates vigorous seedlings with healthy root systems that can be transferred to the garden without transplant shock. We will also discuss a simple and inexpensive grow light system that can be used for seedlings started in soil blocks or in containers. Cost is $5, contact the Boundary County Extension Office to register, (208) 267-3235.
