I have looked for 10" peat pots and all I've found are the very heavy duty
ones that I think roots would have trouble penetrating. Where do you
find ones that size that aren't extremely thick and dense?

YOU'RE RIGHT, CHRIS, THE POTS ARE VERY DENSE. I CAREFULLY CUT AWAY
THE POT (WATER IT FIRST SO THE POTTING SOIL STICKS TOGETHER BETTER)
AND THEN PLANT THE WHOLE THING. I'VE NEVER TRUSTED THAT THE ROOTS
WILL PENETRATE EVEN A 4" POT, SO I CUT THOSE AWAY, TOO.
THE PLASTIC MILK JUGS ARE EASY TO CUT.
