  1. peat moss

    Peat moss refers to decayed, partially decomposed organic materials, mainly sphagnum mosses, found in studgy, water-logged environments, such as bogs or marshes. It is commonly used in horticulture due to its capacity to retain water and nutrients while also providing good aeration for plant growth. Its naturally acidic pH also makes it suitable for growing plants that prefer acidic conditions. Peat moss is also used in soils and seed starting mixes. It is known for its high carbon content, but its harvest is controversial because of environmental issues.
