Now I know what I want for Christmas.

Shawn, does the block hold up well through several waterings?

Yes, my blocks hold up just fine. In fact, as they fill with roots, they become almost indestructible.

Six weeks after starting, does it look like something a market customer would want to buy?

They sell just fine at market for me. The ease of planting out and lack of landfill waste are selling points, and the plants just look great.

Do they get mold and algae?

I do sometimes get green algae growing if I've kept them too moist, but have never felt it was any kind of setback or problem. It never has seemed to affect the plants in any way.
