This clod press, designed in Belgium by Les Forges d'Ephaïstos, produces 12 clods of 50 mm each. A 6 mm recess (preformed hole) on the clods accommodates the seeds.

These sizes are suitable for vegetable seeds such as squash, zucchini, melon, watermelon, cabbage, etc., but also for tomatoes, which require more soil to develop.

These compact clods also make it easier to transplant young shoots. All you have to do is gently enlarge the pre-formed hole.

This tool is both economical and ecological, allowing you to sow and transplant without using a bucket. Made of stainless steel, it is much stronger and lighter than galvanized steel. The Forges d'Ephaïstos press is part of a sustainable approach. Its solid design promises vigorous, successful plants for many seasons to come.

The experience of professionals proves that the use of root presses is the most satisfactory solution for successful, healthy plants: the roots growing around the cube are neither damaged nor bent by containers. The plants are not stressed during transplanting (less handling, no need to unpack). Simply plant directly in the ground or in containers).
