Hello, thank you for your garden tips. I'm always learning something! Although I understand many people like using peat moss, please let readers know that using peat is destructive to bog systems. Layers of peat moss can take thousands of years to form in boggy areas, as bog systems began their formation after glaciation occurred. While some of these unusual ecosystems are under protection from being cut, many are not, and will therefore be irreparably harmed when the peat is removed. I'm glad you encourage other soil amendments, such as compost, but please advise readers to avoid using peat moss.
