Swift Blocker Mini 27

Our most economical model, the Mini 27 makes the same size block as the Commercial 72 in a much smaller footprint — for growers using smaller trays, or who simply need fewer blocks at a time. The blocks land in a 4.5″ × 14″ footprint, which drops neatly into a standard cafeteria tray.

Open-sided blocks air-prune their roots: instead of circling the wall of a plastic cell, each root tip stops at the edge and branches, building a dense rootball that slides into the garden with almost no transplant shock.

Simple and hand-operated, with stamped permanent dibbles that press a clean, even seed dimple in every block — nothing to fit, lose, or replace. The finished 27 soil blocks are approximately 1.5″ in size.

One piece of stainless steel, made in southeast Michigan — a tool you buy once. In stock, ships in 1–2 business days. Please wear gloves while blocking to keep hands safe.
