I came across these after some searching. The theory behind is that when it
becomes time to plant out,the entire container is buried thereby minimising
transplant shock.
The newspaper is to break down quickly and the roots grow through it.
Well I take a slightly more cynical view. Newspaper is fairly tough and and I
can see it taking many months to decompose and if roots CAN grow through it
then they would do so whether the container is buried or not. And they don't
seem to. I can visualize a pot bound seedling waiting months for the newspaper
to decompose.
Has any one actually had experience with this method and does it work?
