Peat Moss Added
To the growing area which is a little over 1,000sq.ft. 30 cubic yards (10 bags) of peat moss is added. This helps increase the aeration of the soil and also the water holding capacity. It also spreads easily and has noticeable changes to the physical properties of the soil, as it reduces compaction. Getting this extra aeration property is important for good root development.
While the material may have a slight acidic tendency at the rates used here it should only drop the pH by about 0.2 pH points. If you are concerned about this change simply add one 50lb bag of lime at the time of application and there should be no net change in pH of the soil.
