The trick to handling peat pots

Keep plants watered while they wait to be planted. Don't let them dry out.

To insure success, drench the pots thoroughly just before planting. Then let them drain for a few minutes before putting them into the ground. The pots turn a dark brown when they are wet.

Remove the shrink-wrap label from the rim of the pot. Cutting it with scissors is the easiest way. Also tear away the top of the peat pot so that the rimis not exposed above ground after planting. If the peat pot dries out, it can rob moisture from the roots.

Finally tear away the bottom half of the pot before placing the plant in its hole. This exposes the roots to make sure that they make direct contact with the ground. If the peat pots falls away from the root ball this will not hurt the plant. You can compost any pieces of the peat pot or turn them into the ground, where they will break down adding a little organic matter to the soil.

Bury the pot so the top of the root ball is just even with the ground. Exceptions to this are tomatoes and cabbages, which are planted deeper.
