Welcome to NGA, @Firemounta !

The peat will lower the pH of your potting mix... I have finally been able to grow blueberries - which need an acid soil - by mixing peat, potting soil, compost and Perlite (pretty much half peat, then the other half more or less evenly divided among the other components). But if what you are trying to grow needs a higher pH, the peat might not be a good thing. And, sulfur also will lower the pH. So... the question is, what are you attempting to grow?
