Two tools in one — level your blocks, then seed the whole tray in a single pass.
Filling a tray of soil blocks means two finicky jobs: getting every cell level, and dropping seed into each small dimple. The Swift Scraper does both.
Drag it across a filled tray and the mix comes off flush — every block level, every corner packed, no thumb-tamping. Then wipe it clean and lay it flat over the blocks: pour your seed onto the plate, guide each one into its dimple with a fingertip, and slide along. One pass sows the tray, and when you tip the plate back the leftover seed pours straight into the packet — none wasted.
It turns seeding a tray from a seed-by-seed chore into a one-minute job.
How it works
Scrape the mix flush across your filled blocker.
Wipe the plate and lay it flat over the blocks.
Pour seed on top and nudge each into a dimple.
Tip it back to return the extras to your packet.
Each scraper is cut to match a specific blocker — the 128 plate also fits the Nano 16. Choose your size above.
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.
