Stand them in a tray first - when it comes to planting the roots should help hold the soil together. Personally, I prefer using newspaper pots though - they've got a base and are thinner to rot down.

Ours have held for around 5 weeks in the past - although 3-4 is about normal.

We've just planted our beans out, having had them in the toilet roll inners since we planted them about a month ago; seems to work really well, and the rolls themselves are degrading nicely in the ground already. We stood them in a tray, as Wulf suggested, which sorted the open-bottomed thing pretty well, although I had to resist the temptation to pick them up for root observations quite often....!
