black gold organic peat moss in casing layer?
    #19144503 - 11/16/13 08:14 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I went to my local garden center in search of sunshine peat moss with no luck. I am becoming increasingly frustrated trying to buy my supplies locally and coming up empty. But anyways, the peat they had there was black gold organic peat moss. I searched and didn't find anything on the subject nor did I have time to post so I bought it.

It says on the bag organic wetting agent added to promote re-wetting. The wetting agent is yucca extract at .0001%. Feeling the peat thru the bag it does feel pretty dry tho. I've read RR talking about wetting agents causing problems with contams.

Anyone have experience working with this stuff?
Is it ok to use?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It's peat moss. It will work fine for your casing layer.

Yep :shrug:

Any peat moss will work as long as it contains no fertilizers.

Whatever kind that meets those requirements and can be found cheaply at the garden store.

Right now it is this:


You can also use organic jiffy mix starter soil out of the bag. Hydrate, pasteurize, and use:

Do you pasturize your peat also?

I know of no trouble from wetting agents. That must have been someone else.

Most of the small bags of pet moss are already hydrated, so they grow trichoderma pretty darn fast once opened.  I learned that the hard way.  It's why I only buy the large blocks that are fully dry.

Yes, I do. I pasteurize the fully hydrated peat+verm+lime+gypsum mix.
