I C.... just make sure they don't have any extra fertilizer... bottom of the pot should be ok but it'll probably breakdown in a while...

thats one of the reasons why i am trying to test out....some of the pots tht i have are stuffed wt coco fibers at the bottom just to make sure that excess water can be drained out and the moss cannot escape via the draining holes. next one might gonna try shredded papers.......
