This mini galvanized steel and plastic potting press is a tool that allows you to easily create 20 small 17 mm (1in) plugs, in one single motion. This professional technique, accessible to amateur gardeners, is very useful when carrying out numerous sowings. The young plant plugs obtained through this method can be transplanted into larger plugs.

This mini seedling press is a small tool ideal for starting crops in a limited space. It allows you to easily create 20 small 17 mm (1in) cubes, in one simple step, without using pots or containers. This professional technique, accessible to amateur gardeners, is very useful when sowing numerous flowers or vegetables. The seeds will be placed in the soil at the recommended depth for each variety. The young plant cubes obtained through this method can be transplanted into larger cubes 2 to 4 weeks later using a seedling press with square indentations.

Appreciated for its ease of production, a plant in a mini cube can be started earlier in the season, with the plant being "raised" in a tunnel, greenhouse, or conservatory. Producing your own plants also helps reduce production costs by offering a wide variety of choices. Producing plants using pressed cubes is one of the most economical and rewarding techniques. This professional technique is made possible thanks to the manual seedling press. The created cubes are compressed special seedling soil pressed by the tool. Despite appearances, these small compressed soil cubes are sturdy, they have good structure and can be transplanted without difficulty. Place the cubes on a tray or potting table. When the plants are strong enough, take the cube directly and plant it in a larger cube or container, and then in the garden or vegetable patch. This technique, which avoids disturbing the young rootlets, also minimizes the stress associated with transplantation.
