Dr. Earth Peat MossFrequently Asked Questions
Peat moss improves soil by increasing water retention in sandy soils, improving drainage in clay soils, and providing organic matter that helps with nutrient retention. It’s particularly good for acid-loving plants.
Peat moss is a non-renewable resource that takes centuries to form. While effective, consider sustainable alternatives like coconut coir for large-scale applications or look for peat moss from responsibly managed bogs.
Peat moss breaks down slowly, so it typically only needs to be added every 2-3 years. Annual top-dressing of about 1 inch can maintain optimal conditions for moisture-loving plants.
