Default Fibre plant pots

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! :-(


I tried paper pots for my beans last year and they all rotted and turned to
mush before the beans went out. :-(
