All Things Soil Blocking

Soil Blocking is a seed starting method that we began using in 1998 because of its space savviness, ease of use, and high sprouting rates. Gardeners and farmers have found soil blocking easily adaptable to most environments.

To learn how to start from seed indoors using the soil blocking method, commercial swift blocker, and plug trays. Plus, information on direct sowing of seeds outdoors in the garden, purchase our online workshop: Seed Starting Made Easy.

Soil blocking is a game changer! Seeds germinate in record time and the germination rate is so much higher than when starting seeds with conventional methods. I could not believe my eyes when some seeds had germinated in 24 hours.

Soil blocking is not only fun, it saves time. No sterilizing used plastic containers. Less mess. Just more efficient all around, and transplanting is easy-peasy!

Using the soil blocker has made starting tons of small seeds a total breeze! If you’re on the lookout for a time-saving tool…look no further!

Love how easy it is to start seeds with the soil blocker, and how economical, since you only need to put one seed in each block. You can buy fewer seeds and share with friends, as well. I have used mine for years and it is still in perfect condition.

Here is what customers are saying about how soil blocking has changed their seed starting experience.
