Has anyone used one and what do you think? Next has anyone made one? Care to share your design and how it works.......please :thumb:

Do the blocks hold up to watering? How do you water? What recipe do you use for your blocking mix?

They look like a good simple idea to me but I would like to know that they work here before go investing in one. I have seen a simple round one made from a tomato paste tine and think I might try something similar to start with - maybe a twin blocker made from a spam tin......... anyone care for a spam sandwich :fart:
