- The coarse fiber texture of peat moss keeps the
soil moist, yet well-aerated and supplies the acidity so necessary
for plants to thrive.

- One of the best soil conditioners you can use in the garden
because it provides the right balance of air and water for plants
and grass. Peat moss loosens clay soils and binds sandy soils. No

Canadian Sphagnum Peat
Moss
- Available in a 3.8 cubic foot compressed bale
- Canadian sphagnum peat moss is partially decomposed sphagnum
moss. It’s large cell structure enables it to absorb air and water
like a sponge. Although peat moss does not contain nutrients, it
adsorbs nutrients added to or present in the soil releasing them
over time as the plants require. This saves valuable nutrients which
are otherwise lost through leaching.
- One of the best soil conditioners you can use in the garden
because it provides the right balance of air and water for plants
and grass. Peat moss loosens clay soils and binds sandy soils. No
other soil amendment provides this combination of benefits.
- This product is dry and is harder to use then pre-moistened
sphagnum moss as it commonly blows away in the wind.

generic term for naturally occurring siliceous rock.
