If you do have difficulty filling them, you could perhaps make a
cardboard 'tube' to insert into the top of the pot and fill via

An old bog roll tube sounds about right.

Or a couple of quid should get you a wide-mouthed preserving funnel
designed for filling jam jars if you haven't got one in the kitchen.
Or just cut the top off a plastic milk-bottle.

We use these all the time and you do not need any tubes or funnels, just put
2 or 3 handfuls of compost in the bag and firm on a hard surface with your
fist and they become free standing enough to pot normally.
