Thanks for your thoughts.
Around here, we get subzero temps. over the winter latent period, and not much happens by way of decay, as the contents of the above-ground containers freeze solid long before the in-ground soil does. I pull intact root balls out of my garden beds in early spring as I clear out for the new season, so I can work in some more Plant Tone before the new crop.
Maybe I can use a steak knife to carve out a hole for the seedling plugs. Leave it up to them to work around the remaining tangles. I'm not kidding, I can pull the entire content of the earth box out as one big loaf because the roots hold it all together so.
Never had that problem with beans or peas or leafy veg.
