GARDENER’S Planting mix potting soil

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

The unique properties of peat are also attracting great interest in other areas of application:

• Peat granules as filters in aquariums
• Peat sods for aquariums and herbaria
• Peat fibers for bio-filter plants
• Peat for livestock bedding
• Peat is water-repellent, can be processed as an oil binder
