Manual Soil Blocker Tool - 5 x 5cm Block Maker for Seed Starting

Start your seeds efficiently and sustainably with this Manual Soil Blocker. This handy garden tool allows you to create perfect 5cm square soil blocks, providing an excellent medium for germination and reducing the need for disposable plastic pots. It's an eco-friendly way to nurture strong, healthy seedlings with minimal root disturbance during transplanting.

Key Features:

Creates Four Blocks: Efficiently produces four uniform 5cm x 5cm x 5cm soil blocks with each press, speeding up your seed starting process.
Built-in Seed Indentation: Each block mould features a built-in pin that creates a small indentation (approx. 1cm / 0.39 inch deep) on top of the block, perfect for easy and precise seed placement.
Promotes Healthy Roots: Soil blocks encourage stronger root systems through 'air pruning' as roots reach the edge of the block, minimizing the risk of seedlings becoming root-bound.
Reduces Transplant Shock: Planting seedlings in soil blocks directly into your garden or larger pots significantly reduces root disturbance, leading to less transplant shock and faster establishment.
Durable Construction: Made from sturdy ABS plastic for longevity and repeated use season after season.
Easy to Use: Features a comfortable handle and a simple spring-loaded mechanism. Just mix your soil, press the blocker in, scrape the bottom flat, and eject the finished blocks onto a tray.
Eco-Friendly Alternative: Reduces reliance on single-use plastic pots and trays, making your gardening practices more sustainable.

How to Use:

Prepare a suitable moist (not soaking wet) seed starting soil mix.
Firmly press the soil blocker into the soil mix, ensuring the chambers are completely filled.
Scrape off any excess soil from the bottom of the blocker to create a flat base.
Position the blocker over your seed tray and push down on the handle to eject the four soil blocks.
Place your seeds into the indentations on top of each block.

Tips for protecting your children online

In today's digital age, ensuring your children's safety while they browse the internet is paramount. As they explore the vast online world through smartphones, gaming consoles, laptops, and other devices, it's essential to implement measures to shield them from potentially harmful content and interactions. Here are some tips to help you safeguard your children online:

1. Communication is Key

Open and ongoing communication with your children about online safety is crucial. Discuss the potential dangers they may encounter online, such as pornography, cyberbullying, and violent content. Encourage them to come to you with any concerns or questions they may have.

2. Set Clear Boundaries

Establish clear rules and boundaries regarding internet usage. Define appropriate time limits for browsing and specify which websites and apps are off-limits. Make sure your children understand the consequences of violating these rules. You can also restrict some of these apps or online content utilizing device level parental controls explained below.

3. Utilize Parental Controls

Take advantage of the parental control features available on devices and internet browsers. These controls allow you to block access to specific websites, set age-appropriate content filters, and monitor your children's online activities. Familiarize yourself with the parental control options on smartphones, gaming consoles, and laptops to effectively manage your children's online experiences.

4. Educate Yourself

Stay informed about the latest trends and technologies related to online safety. Familiarize yourself with popular social media platforms, gaming communities, and messaging apps that your children may use, including the functions they provide. This knowledge will help you understand the potential risks and take appropriate action to protect your children.

5. Monitor Their Online Activities

Regularly monitor your children's online activities to ensure they are adhering to the rules and staying safe. Keep an eye on their browsing history, social media interactions, and messaging apps. Be vigilant for any signs of cyberbullying or exposure to inappropriate content.

6. Encourage Safe Online Behavior

Teach your children about the importance of practicing safe online behavior. Remind them never to share personal information, such as their full name, address, or phone number, with strangers online. Encourage them to think critically about the content they encounter and to report anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

7. Lead by Example

Be a positive role model for your children by demonstrating responsible and respectful online behavior yourself. Show them how to navigate the internet safely and responsibly, and emphasize the importance of treating others with kindness and empathy online.

8. Reporting abuse, making complaints and finding more information

For additional resources and guidance on online safety, visit the Australian e-Safety Commissioner's website at www.esafety.gov.au. Here, you'll find a wealth of information, including tips for parents, educational resources for children, and tools for reporting online abuse and harassment.

You can also report abuse through the website’s online form.

By following these tips and utilizing available resources, you can help keep your children safe from pornography, cyberbullying, violent content, and other unsafe material while they navigate the internet. Remember, proactive measures and open communication are key to fostering a safe and positive online environment for your family.
