Default Sweetcorn root disturbance

Various authors and web sits suggest that sweetcorn be started off in
peat pots because it doesn't like root disturbance. However, Unwin's
seed packet just mentions "small pots".

Is the "root disturbance" just a gardeners myth? or can someone point
me to *authoritive* information?


No idea, but there are probably many gardening myths around that get
perpetuated by those who should know better.
