From my experience Nature has no trouble growing plants in pots of any
form as long as soil or compost is pot in to them.

Well, I doubt that nature has any experience of putting soil in pots, so
I believe that I (and anyone else in this NG) can claim to answer the
OP's question "Do any of the posters on this newsgroup/forum 'really'
feel that they have more experience than nature?".

You could equally claim greenhouse culture, ring culture, grafting, and
even more esoteric things such as hydroponics if you were into that form
of culture.
