EThe EcoFloral Soil Blocking Tray is designed to support soil blocks during seed starting while simplifying watering and organization. Soil blocking is a method of starting seeds in compressed cubes of soil instead of plastic cell trays. By eliminating rigid container walls, seedlings develop healthier root systems through a process known as air pruning, where roots naturally branch rather than circling.
This tray provides a stable base for holding soil blocks in place while allowing bottom watering. Bottom watering encourages even moisture distribution, helping seedlings absorb water gradually without disturbing newly planted seeds. For gardeners starting large numbers of seedlings, trays also help keep blocks organized and easy to move between grow lights, greenhouses, or outdoor hardening areas.
The tray’s durable design allows it to be reused season after season, reducing reliance on disposable plastic seed trays. It pairs well with common soil blockers and seed-starting mixes used by home gardeners, flower farmers, and market growers.
Soil blocking trays are especially useful for starting vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers indoors before transplanting to the garden. By supporting soil blocks while keeping watering simple, the tray helps create a reliable seed starting system for gardeners who want healthier seedlings and a more sustainable approach to propagation.
Medium: 6.4”x4.2”x1/2” - fits 2 20-cell mini 3/4” blocks
