Can you plant Jiffy pots in soil?

Do roots grow through Jiffy pellets?

The Jiffy pots are quite small, and in no time the roots will want to grow past the outside mesh. If the roots do grow through the mesh they don’t find potting media or water and so they can’t grow very far. If you later remove the mesh before planting, you will damage the roots that have made it through the mesh.
