The paper pot transplanter is a super interesting concept. I understand
it is only really good for small seedling that are being transplanted
with close in-row spacing (less than 6"), but seeing the video where
they transplant scallion, it looks like a real time-saver for those.
In general, do you consider it is worth the investment? Any specific
drawback about this system, beside those discussed in the FAQ? Are the
folding paper pot (which, I understand, are being imported from Japan)
expensive?
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts.
