My soil block mix is 1:1 compost to peat and 1/4 part perlite or vermic.
I add about a cup of each amendment, lime, kelp, rock phos, any meal, bd preps

The stand up is worth the cost, but get the 12 er. 
I can make over 1000 in less than 2 hours which includes mixing the medium, about two wheelbarrows. 

An overhead sprinkler with a timer keeps them wet, each day

Soil blocks are great and I'll ditto what Dave Inglis, says. 

I looked into a but from Holland, they run over 10,000 grand. For 200 shares the stand-up 12 er works great.

Best, john
