Why do you insist on peat pellets for seedling growth? I would recommend lfm and just be gentle with them and pack a nice ball around the rhizome or you can clump several plants together. I prefer using lfm because it provides good insulation around the rhizome, it's easy to work with, and it's a lot easier to spot dead decaying leaves/roots to extract them from the media. With peat moss it's almost impossible to inspect the pot for broken down/decaying roots in a quick fashion. With lfm I just dig down in the pot and spot any brown clumps and extract them so the media stays as clean and fresh as it can. You can look at it like as we humans going to the dentist and getting a teeth cleaning or something like that. You can do it with peat moss, but it's not nearly as quick.
