Hi everyone
Since it's almost time to think spring I was looking at soils available for sale.
Talking about peat.
One thing I know it's that I don't like it, and every bag of soil I bought until now contains a lot of peat (actually it seems producers add always more peat).
I don't like it because it has a lot of fibers and when it dries it becomes waterproof. Maybe the quality of what I bought until now it's very low, but I can't stand it. It's everywhere, in every kind of soil.
Now there's a (new?) trend about soils without peat.
They are made (at least the one I'm reading about) of: wood fibers, cortex humus, compost and coconut powder. This producer makes different soils with different PH values. maybe adding a low PH soil in the garden would be an idea?
Do you have any advice about the use of peat, it's beneficial or can I live without it?
