14. Sow Smart: Direct Sowing, Soil Blocking, or Modules?


When it comes to sowing flower seeds, should you go high-tech, low-fi, or somewhere in between? In this episode I dive into one of the most spirited debates in the flower farming world: modules vs. soil blocks vs. direct sowing. I Cut through the noise, sharing real-life tips and lessons from my greenhouse and garden trenches. Whether you're surrounded by seed trays or armed with just a rake and a dream, this episode will help you find the sowing method that suits your flowers — and your life.


🌼 What You’ll Learn:

  • The pros and cons of direct sowing, modular trays, and soil blocks
  • Why “one size fits all” is a myth in seed sowing
  • My no-fuss compost method for soil blocks
  • Which seeds thrive with each method (hint: poppies love the wild life)
  • The golden rule: Match your method to your lifestyle, space, and sanity
  • Common mistakes to avoid (and why your cardboard pots might be the problem)
