seeds Transplanting seedlings

[Habanero Fellow]

I have started using a small spoon to help removing a seedling from a flat. That was after trying to pull one by the stem and loosing all the roots. What's your best way to remove the seedlings?

why not transfer the soil around it to new place directly?

I used a knife last year. I slid the knife between the soil and the plastic on all four sides to make sure it is loose. Then I push up a little from the bottom and it slides right out.

I squeeze the sides and remove dirt and all...

Thank you. Sounds much better than a spoon. I'm using dixie cups with a 1/4 hole drilled on bottom as the next step from the flat. I'm going to place some in a east facing window and others in a south facing window. I want to see which window does best.
