Grafted sprout is an effective solution for avoiding the injury and I always buy grafted sprouts at a big sprout shop run by a farmer specializing for grafted vegetables. Grafted sprouts are more expensive than usual sprouts. For example, one grafted tomato sprout costs about $2.00 while a normal one is $1.00. But I believe it's worth paying for them.
The photo shows the one of grafted tomato sprouts I bought. You can see the sprout is "clipped" with a rootstock. Eventually, I bought 6 tomatoes, 4 cucumbers and 3 eggplants which are all grafted, costing about $20!

You might try growing your plants from seeds. I find that once you grow your own, it's really hard to buy them again! It is such a less expensive venture and you can save seeds from year to year. Also, you are able to try different varieties.
In terms of soil, if you have limited space, use a wheelbarrow or large container, or even a tarp, to help you remove soil and switch the soil to another area. I have gardened in small spaces and this really does work! Good Luck!

Thank you for your advice.
Switching soil is one of my options and I always wonder which is convenient for me for avoiding consecutive crop injury, switching soil or buying grafted sprouts?
Eventually, I always take an Ease way, grafted sprouts, though it costs me money.
I know, however, I'll have to switch soil someday in the future when crop rotation in my garden will not work. A wheelbarrow is on my shopping list now.
