peat humus?
    #7669300 - 11/23/07 07:01 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

this is all i can find the only other peat moss i can find has MG (miracle grow) in it .... so i was wondering if i can just use peat humus as a substitute???

I don't know but I've been told. It's hard to run with the weight of gold                                                                  On the other hand I heard it said. It's just as hard with the weight of lead.

I've not used that stuff but it doesn't sound ideal.

Have a read of this
http://www.hort.cornell.edu/department/faculty/good/growon/media/organic.html

Sphagnum peat moss is the stuff your after.
Peat Humus "often contains clay and silt and does not increase drainage or aeration" which is exactly what you want the peat to do.

Personally I'd look again for the Sphagnum PEAT moss
(NOT 'Sphagnum moss' which is green)

Good Luck

p.s. If you have trouble finding that, many people have had success using 'Miracle Grow Moisture Control' as a casing material. So that could be a good alternative.
