Why growers reach for a Swift Blocker

A soil-blocked seedling at transplant time — dense roots, air-pruned at the edges, no circling
A soil-blocked seedling at transplant time — dense roots, air-pruned at the edges, no circling

Roots that move without the shock

When a root hits the open edge of a block, air stops it — so seedlings build a dense, fibrous rootball instead of circling. They transplant like they barely noticed the move — most starts ready to plant out in about four weeks.

Seed before you eject

Sow the whole tray, dust with vermiculite, then press the blocks out. Faster than dip-and-press blockers — and impossible with them.

Kind to your hands

The lift-to-eject action skips the squeeze — no strain on the hand or wrist. Growers with carpal tunnel or arthritis tell us it's the difference that lets them keep sowing.

Made once, in Michigan

Stainless steel, handmade in southeast Michigan. A buy-it-once tool built to outlast a shelf of plastic trays.

LOVE IT!! This is going to save me so much time in eliminating having to wash so many trays. This is a great SOLID piece that will outlive me. I highly recommend it. I am new to soil blocking and had zero issues with learning the moisture of the soil in order to obtain perfect blocks. I plan to place an order for the other sizes.

Wow! What a difference the Swift Blocker 72 has made in our greenhouse! Being able to make a tray of blocks at one time is a big improvement to using the 12 blocker and having to reload it multiple times to fill the tray. We are saving both time and physical labor by using the Swift Blocker and will be ordering the Swift Blocker 50 as soon as we can. Thank you for this amazing product.

I bought the swift blocker 72 last month, and used it today as I began my 2023 seed starting. I prepared my mix, troweled it in, placed and pressed the top, and "Bam", I had the fastest 72 soil blocks I've ever created! I love it!
