Default sowing in tubes

I intend sowing into carboard tubes this spring, and would like a little
advice.
First can I plant on with tube, or should I slide the plant out?
Secondly I am best placing the tubes in a tray of gravel and watering
through the gravel?
TIA

FWIW we use paper pots and merely use the tube as the 'form'.. They
degrade perfectly well when given a good soaking after planting.

We find the local rag (tabloid size) seems good for parsnips etc..
