Peat Moss

Peat moss is an organic material harvested from peat bogs, commonly used in gardening and landscaping to improve soil structure and moisture retention. It is acidic, making it ideal for acid-loving plants like azaleas and blueberries. Peat moss is lightweight, sterile, and free of weeds, providing a clean and efficient way to enhance soil fertility and aeration. It is often mixed into garden beds, potting soils, and used as a top dressing for lawns. While peat moss is effective, its extraction raises environmental concerns, so alternatives like coconut coir are increasingly being used in sustainable landscaping.
