Nope they tend to degrade over time and dry out too fast... I'd say only
for annuals. I have started doing more clean cultivation in rows and
beds for my cuttings rather than containers.. Watering is much easier,
by mid summer I switch from hoe to mulch, then transplant in fall. May
be 6 of one half-dozen the other, but I have been much happier with the
health of my cuttings and not had to worry about fussy pots. I have
been sprouting perennials in flats, then pricking to the same row crop
arrangement... we'll see how it goes.

Most of the perennials that I grow out from seed, spend 2 years in
containers, getting planted the 2nd autumn, & they are in 1/2 gallon
to 2 gallon containers. Not sure soil blocks would work with that
type application. I've used soil blocks for starting garden annuals,
but that's a small part of what I do here.

growing, but I get trays & pots free from landscapers, roadside
pickup & what people bring me. If you put them away for the winter
I've managed to reuse some of them for 10-12 seasons...
