Soil blocks are home made using (usually) a soil blocker device, widely available online. You use either a purchased potting mix formulated for soil blocks, or you can make your own mix following any of several published recipes. You mix the potting mix with water until a mudpie consistency, then press as much of the mix into the blocker as you can, creating a compressed block of potting soil which holds its shape while seedlings grow and it gets planted out. No pots, plants never get rootbound, very east to transplant.
