Default Tomatoes in peat pots?

Is this not a done thing? I put a load in peat pots to make it easier to
plant them out and they haven't liked it at all. They have barely grown
compared to the others in plastic pots.

Any thoughts?


My guess is that the water-loss by evaporation would be great through the
walls of peat pots.

Tomato roots HATE to be dry.
