Different approach to toms?

This year, (after the initial failures in an unheated greeenhose), I planted all my toms straight into seperate 3"pots. As soon as they got to about an inch high, I pressed down around the  tom seedling and filled back up to the seed leaves with more compost as an alternative to redoing them and planting deeper. They seem to be doing very well. Has anyone else done this, or have I perfomed another bright manoeuvre?

Hey thats a great idea, I hate potting on!

I do that for my brassicas in catlitter tray..   never potted it.
