Fibre pot or plastic pots?

What are people's preferences when transferring seeds from seed trays, prefer fibre pots or plastic ones. 

 I am soon going to need to purchase some but not sure which to go for..

  • I used to use fibre pots but don't bother anymore as I found the small 7 or 9cm square black plastic ones give the best results.  When I did use fibre pots I found they needed to be inside plastic pots anyway to prevent them drying out.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I'd agree with Bob, plastic get better results unless you're growing something with a rampant root system which will quickly outgrow the pot and you need to plant out very quickly.

  • Thank you, sounds like plastic is the way forward.
