Peat Moss is a brown, soft and spongy 
matter, formed years ago by the decay of 
mosses and other vegetable matter. It has 
high fertilizing value; holds moisture and is 
especially valuable for waxy lands. One bale 
is sufficient to cover 240 square feet one 
inch deep. The bale weighs approximately 
100 pounds. Ideal for potting bulbs, either 
to be grown in water or under soil conditions.
