What is PEAT 
MOSS? 
Peat moss is organic material— 
rich brown in color and of a spongy 
consistency. Peat moss is the better 
garden humus. ... It absorbs 10 to 
15 times its own dry weight in water. 
It is best to apply peat moss when 
it is wet. It blends better, that is, 
mixes more intimately with the soil 
particles. Either let the hose run into 
the bale, thoroughly soaking it—or 
leave it outdoors through a rain or 
two before using it. 
The two most important factors in all plant 
growth are moisture and food. . . . These two go 
hand in hand, for plant roots absorb food in solu¬ 
tion only. . . . They starve in dry soil be it ever 
so rich. . . . When dug into the soil peat moss 
soaks up water like a sponge and stores it in 
myriads of tiny cells around the roots. 
Where there is moisture the ever present bac¬ 
teria multiply decomposing dirt and fertilizers 
and thereby releasing the three most important 
elements of plant food in both—nitrogen, phos¬ 
phoric acid and potash. 
Where there is peat moss then, there is always 
available plant food. 
When dug into the earth — 
Peat Moss binds sandy soil. ... It breaks up 
and lightens clay soil. ... It does away with 
the necessity of frequent watering. . . .It pro¬ 
motes root growth. 
When used as a mulch — 
One need weed only once a month instead of 
every week; ... It acts as an insulator prevent¬ 
ing hot sun from drying out roots in summer and 
keeping Jack Frost at bay in winter.
