[nafex] "Spincote" pots



	I'm getting ready to transplant some chestnut seedlings from peat
pots into larger containers.  Someone told me of commercially-available pots
coated with a copper-based root-inhibiting compound.  Apparently, the roots
grow until they contact the container wall and the growing tips dies on
contact.  The result is a root ball without any "girdling".  The coating is
called "spincote", I believe.  I haven't been able to find a source for
these pots.  Anyone know of one?


thanks,
