I am no expert but I noticed that morning glories don't like to be transplanted. This might work for you or it might not!

I have made a simple thread because there are lots of people who are just happy to grow something simple and to get them to survive; that's the first hurdle!

I also noticed that peat pots get fungus on them and when it's time to move the soil falls away from the roots.

Of course you are going to the soil etc that washes out the bottom of the pots.

Roots get held in a nice manner at transplant time and it holds just the right amount of water

So what do I do ?

I make a little newspaper insert like this. I just rip a strip and see how long I need by folding on the outside of the pot, like this. I noticed that my MG's seem to like square pots maybe it's just my imagination but I can grow more together when they are square :P
