I was sent free fibre plant pots with my seed order from Dobies. I hate
free offers, why not just reduce the price? Anyway I am finding them
useless. Normally I sow all my brassicas in home made paper pots, these
work fine, never had a failure yet. However all my sowings into the
fibre pots have failed, the reason being that in this weather they dry
out in no time at all. Am I missing something? I really don't want to
water 2 or 3 times a day, anyway I am at an age when I forget anyway! :-(

Fibre pots work well under normal conditions but I'd never use them
for seed sowing.
Just because you had them with your seed didn't mean that you had to
use them for seed, they are best for growing plants on in so you can
plant out without and root disturbance.
