One of the many reasons I use biodegradable pots (CowPots/Dot Pots) is because of
transplant shock. After potting up my seedlings grown in Jiffy 7's into CP's or DP's that is where they stay till I pull the plant in the fall. The plant and pot are put into the container or ground after being dipped in a solution containing Actinovate and Mycorrhiza, couldn't be simpler. And when I do pull the plant at the end of the growing season the pots for the most part have totally decomposed or there may be a small portion left at the top. Ami
