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?

Dunno about 'authoritative' but we know from experience that if we just wait
till the temperatures rise and the soil is hot, the seeds we plant will do
as well or better than the seedlings we've transplanted.
