potting on

We are always advised to repot a plant into the next size up, and not to 
jump from a small pot to a large one.  It is always a pain poking soil 
mix down into the narrow gap.  I use a chopstick, but it is still 
fiddly.  Now I have just read a good idea in Sir Peter Smithers book 
Adventures of a Gardener.  He uses square pots and when he repots, he 
sets the cube of roots diagonally in the larger pot.  This gives  
more-easily filled triangles of space.
