Fantastic to see the Willow cuttings loving out peat-free Propa Blocks and enjoying the new glasshouse at Livingston Community Shed!

Greenhouse Development
The shed have formed a close link with a local biotechnology company by the name of Silvibio who have developed a new type of peat free growing medium in small cube form. The shed are busy planting seeds in these cubes and so far the results are pretty impressive. These are Willow tree cuttings.

👩‍🌾 What happens when the plants grow too big for their blocks?🌱
SilviBio's Propa Blocks transplant directly into the earth (or a big pot)!
No plastic, no peat, no fuss! 💚

Propagation blocks are used by commercial growers for growing salad crops and they can also grow a multitude of other plants. When the plant gets big enough, the whole block goes straight in the ground without damaging the roots or polluting the soil with plastic waste.

🚫 Propa blocks hold their structure without any plastic netting, unlike peat.
🌞 They can be dried and rewetted infinitely so there’s less stress for growers and gardeners when the weather changes!
💧Our potting soil retains water well so you can water them less frequently than other peat-free alternatives!

Try them out for yourself, email [email protected] for more info! 💚
