I am a small grower, too. To fill trays we get a really big plastic pot (one used for a tree). Fill it with the soil, dampen with water. Lay out the trays on a blue tarp...as many as 9-12 at a time. Get them close together, touching to make one solid surface of trays. Use a shovel and put a pile on top of each tray and then use a shop broom to spread out the soil to fill all the holes. Back and forth a few times over the tops of the trays. You get calibrated after a wile on how much soil to shovel on so that you have enough to fill the trays but not have too much excess. Every once in a while, dump the soil that has fallen on the tarp back into the pot. When I seed up, I keep a small pot of soil close by for those few holes that didn't get quite enough in the back and forth sweeping. Shela Colorado..."Thundersnow" this morning
