What's in peat moss?

With spring coming around the corner, bags of Canadian Sphagnum peat moss are starting to arrive at big box stores and garden nurseries in anticipation of the growing season. Everyone is loading up a bag or two for their planter and hanging flower baskets so it must be great stuff! However, with so many different peat moss products and vendors, I tended to purchase by price point and the colour of the bag until I started to look at the ingredients in the bag.

The following video will explain "what's in the bag".

It will also reveal where peat moss comes from and how it is harvested. If you live in Canada, you will be very surprised to know that we are one of the largest producers of peat moss in the world!  The importance of the NPK fertilizer numbers printed on the bag will also be explained along with the pH levels required to grow your tomato plants 6-7 feet.  The video will also show you the results of using this wonderful growing medium to grow massive flowers for your deck. This is very exciting, so let's get started, my friend.
