I have read posts that are pro and con for peat pots. I used peat pots for my first year growing season last year. They never broke down as I thought they would. Now I wonder what the roots were like below grade. I read alot about using plastic jugs or pots and think that may be the way to grow. It seems like alot of growers then slit the plastic containers apart when planting. Is there any concern for cutting roots as opposed to planting them like flowers (gently pull or dump the soil and flower out of container)?

I just use plastic 1 gallon milk jugs easy to slit open when ready to plant,
gave up on peat pots years ago.
