I think peat pots are getting a bad wrap.
I have successfully used them from the seedling stage on up with great success.
No problems with roots growing out the sides or anything they grow everywhere.
These were put in kitty litter boxes with no holes and water put in the bottom.
If I found they were water logged I just drained the water out.
It isn't the product it is the method each is used.
If I planted them in larger containers I put the plant pot and all in the bottom and filled it with potting mix.
If they are planted in the garden the same thing or the peat pot ripped off first.
The most important thing is to not let the peat pot ridge stick up above the soil line.
This will act as a wick and draw moisture from it to evaporate.
Worth.
