I had no real problem keeping the peat pots damp, but they
did have a tendency to grow mold on the outside. At trans-
plant time I had to peel off the peat, thus defeating the easy
planting benefit of the peat pots. On the plus side, since
the little fellas were root bound, it was easy to straighten out
the roots with little trauma (to the seedlings).

Yup. I planted the best, gave some away, bought containers
for others and *still* had to say adios to seven or eight plants.
