Would others be interested in a soil blocking mix as good as ours? Many people want simplicity with reliable results. Many people are already buying potting soil for their block maker and not getting the results of home made soils, and then become skeptical of the machine. Or, people want to make their own but can't find the ingredients, especially vegetable-based compost and glacial rock dust, or don't have good garden soil. Problems solved with environmentally friendly and ecologically safe, OLD FARM BOY Potting Soil. Gardeners are interested in a ready-to-use blocking soil with fool-proof results. Now, Old Farm Boy Potting Soil has created the world's first and only potting soil specifically formulated for use in a soil block maker with slow-release fertilizers and amendments. But wait, it also works wonders for pots and containers. In fact, we're willing to "bet the farm" it's the best certified organic potting soil on the market. Why? Our blocking mix is made from certified organic ingredients* and contains the perfect blend of biologically composted peats, vermicompost, fertilizers and amendments. We work with a local vermicompost builder who builds composts that are really biologically alive. This compost is key to seedling health without sterilizing the soil. Why not put billions and billions of soil micro-organisms to work for you? We've even added some secret ingredients like rock dust, red worm eggs, yucca extract and mycorrhizal fungi. We know the best results from soil blockers comes from the right blocking mix, proper moisture and good compaction. We simply guarantee it.
easy way to start seeds. There is nothing like it on the planet, since it is scientifically perfected to be used in the Micro 20 soil blocker to germinate seeds in a wet compacted soil without drying out. Old Farm Boy Original is or use in the 2", 3", and 4" block maker. It is an incredible blocking mix used to make soil-block transplants on our farm. It is truly unique: OFB has a powerful long lasting fertilizing growth formula. It also utilizes special long fibers from the coconut pith and sphagnum peat moss. And, it contains advanced organic wetting agents made from a newly discovered yucca-type plant so your soil-blocks will not dry out so fast like all other potting soils can.

This is the famous Eliot Coleman recipe for a base fertilizer used in soil blocking mix, but with
advanced ingredients. We've replaced blood meal with environmentally safer Organic GMO-
free soybean meal and cottonseed meal as the slow-release nitrogen meals that won't
inhibit germination.
We use glacial rock dust found up here in the Northwest so that your plant can access over
70 trace minerals. And, we include potent strains of fresh Mycorrhizae fungi, a symbiotic
beneficial fungus that feeds the plant's roots with nutrients and water. (Think "Spoon-Fed
Nutrition for Plants.")
Colloidal Phosphate which is a Soft Rock Phosphate, a vital immediate-release plant mineral.
It is not to be confused with any other hard-rock phosphate you can buy.
Included are the basics: Greensand, a superior trace mineral, it adds the porous air holding
qualities of sand and weight to blocks.
And, last but not least, a very hard to find Horticulture Grade Limestone (97% Calcium
Carbonate, 3% Magnesium Sulfate) which is the ONLY lime used in soil blocks. This buffers
the acidity of the peat moss and cottonseed meal for perfect pH balance.

efficient nutrient uptake in tight compacted soil blocks with a New "Don't Wilt" Formula.
Partially made from the coconut pith fiber (and other proprietor blends of long-fibered
sphagnum peat moss*), large chunky perlite, and diatomite rock.
Diatomite rock is a natural mineral composed of microscopic plankton skeletons which
holds 100% of its weight in water acting as a reservoir for plant available water and
nutrients. It improves oxygen exchange, and prevents drying out.
Our potting soil will actually hold a block together and stay moist!
OFB Original is now made with 100% worm compost/castings, which is the SUPERIOR
replacement for soil and compost in a blocking mix. We figured this out years ago.
To round it off, we've added mycorrhizae fungi, bloodmeal for the best slow-release
nitrogen meal for lush green growth, greensand, medium-soft rock phosphate and
Azomite rock dusts (over 70 trace minerals), horticulture-grade dolomitic limestone and
Yucca Schidigera Extract.
