I am in the middle of planting tomatoes, global bucket method. Two plants are in a cardboard like substance and appear as though one is supposed to plant in ground in this container, they already have support.
Should I remove this for the bucket method? |

You're probably referring to Peat pots. Remove the pot. They actually take quite some time to decay and it will most likely rootbound your plants, which will stunt your tomato plant.

I agree peat pots/coco coir pots never decay faster than root growth and hinder plants. Its always a safe bet to remove the pot.
