Peat Moss 10L - Nursery Grade

Peat moss is formed when living material and moss decompose in peat bogs. They are formed 12,000 years ago in high latitudes and accumulates slowly at the rate of about a millimetre per year. It is different to compost gardeners make in their backyard as most of the peat moss decomposed without the presence of air, slowing the rate of decomposition. It does not contain harmful microorganisms or weed seeds unlike poorly processed compost. It is ideal for planting fruits and vegetables that are acid loving such as strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes and revitalising garden lawns. It is cost effective as it does not break down easily, lasting several years. Peat moss is highly absorbent so it is ideal for numerous garden uses such as creating fertile soil and speeding up plant growth. It is best used as soil mix or as a hydroponic growing medium and it is a good practice to add a bit of peat moss to any starting mix.
