Spagnum moss peat- the best.

michael johnson · February 16, 2007

I dont know why it is but genuine spagnum moss peat is always so superior for growing seedlings and plants in than any other type of peat- if you can get it.

The best we can get comes straight from the Irish Bogs and is generaly thought of as giving the best results-Bullrush being the favourite brand name.

I have tried all types of peat in the past , sedge peat which is black, Baltic peat imported from finland and the other baltic countries, which smells great and looks good but still doesn't come up to standards of spagnum moss peat and I often wonder why that is-perhaps its because it holds more air round the roots and is more spongy etc.
