Here are the most important benefits of peat moss:

• Peat moss is a highly absorbent material. It can retain water much better than other types of soils.

• Sterile medium. Peat moss provides a sterile medium, which is ideal for planting and growing your plants. It doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals, weed seeds and other bad thing you don’t want for your plants.
• Peat moss is ideal starting medium, particularly for tender, vulnerable plants that require a lot of care.

• Acidic pH features. Peat moss is slightly acidic, which means it is great for acid-loving plants.

• Compaction prevention. Peat moss is not compact, which is a great advantage over other organic materials. It is important to prevent soil compaction because such soil becomes less useful
