I always thought it stifled the root growth as the original netted clump was
still there at the end of the season. I can't say if it affected the growth
of the plant however.

Does anyone have any experience with using peat pellets to start
seeds?

I am just starting my spring seeds, and I am using peat pellets
in peat cups. Eventually I will move them larger and larger, etc.
But I read somewhere (AFTER planting these!) that most growers
don't like the pellets.

Any thoughts on why?
