Soil Blocking Made Easy | My Fast & Efficient Seed Starting Method

Looking for a faster, more efficient way to start seeds? This seed starting technique eliminates plastic trays and streamlines the process—watch how I make 72 soil blocks at once!

A lot of you have been asking about my soil blocking process after seeing my seed trays in past videos and Instagram posts. I still use my trusted WinStrip trays, but I’ve been incorporating more soil blocking into my routine because it’s such an efficient way to start seeds without using plastic. The key is finding a method that works fast while keeping seedlings healthy and strong—and I’ve finally dialed in a process that streamlines everything.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the exact steps I use to make 72 soil blocks at once with the Swift Blocker, including a seed starting mix I'm trying out, how much water you really need (hint: more than you think!), and the trick to getting perfect, sturdy blocks every time. If you’re looking to simplify your seed starting and speed up the process, this method might be a game-changer for you!
