Sphagnum Peat Moss for Gardening (2 Quart)

This is a good product with no additives just pure moss which is perfect to include in my turtle enclosure. I just wished it was more reasonably priced. I can’t believe that a much larger bag of ‘moss soil’ with additional plant foods added is significantly less for more than just having it by itself. Otherwise, good product and would be good to invest should you have a small enclosure.

So i used this as an aquarium substrate. I have super hard and super basic water and all the fish i enjoy keeping need softer more acidic water THIS STUFF DID THE TRICK! I used this bag 2 ways 1.) I got the peat moss good and wet then set up a layer of it under my river rocks and let the tank cycle (fishless cycle). Added my drift wood and almond leaves (im working a black water biotype tank) and got my tanins up. Its been wonderful for the plants im keeping in the tank as well.2.) I put a small amount of peatmoss in a nylon stocking and added it to my filter in an already cycled tank and got the water parameters to the level of softness i was looking for. Now my fish are thriving!!!NOTE: I love tannins in my tanks. I think it makes for a much more natural looking environment. This defiantly helped me to acheive the tea color i am looking for in my tanks.

My Fly traps seem to like it!

I did have a couple of issues, probably more due to my inexperience than to the product itself. First, it didn't contain as much product as I had pictured, it just barely filled a flat of small vegetable starters, maybe an inch deep. Second, and this one is my fault, wet your moss before planting! When completely dry out of the package, this will actually repel water.

I use this to plant my pitcher plant cuttings. It is a good grade of soil.

I tried specific carnivorous plant soils and they almost killed my Venus Fly Trap. Using this I brought it back to life, and have raised 4 more. This is my 2nd package to plant some babies.Soak it first, use a bottom watering technique, and enjoy your carnivorous friends.

I ordered this moss to go along with a few other materials (pebbles, sand, charcoal pellets, etc.) to build a substrate in which to grow Venus Flytrap plants. I'm very pleased with what I received. I mean, it's sphagnum moss, so there's a limit on how excited a person can get- But this is good moss.This is not the stranded-style moss; This particular product has more of a 'chopped' appearance and resembles very clean, dry brown soil. This stuff has great consistency and quality- no pebbles, wood chips, stems, perlite or any other fillers or contaminants.Venus Flytrap plants require a soil mixture with very little mineral/nutrient content. For that reason it's important to use clean, 100% pure peat moss such as this in the mixture. The moss' job is to hold water and help keep the soil mix damp.This moss is a little pricier than others but it's definitely high-quality stuff and exactly what I needed for my project.

I used this for Venus Flytraps which ended up dying anyways, but I don't think that's the soils fault. Seems to keep moisture pretty well that water will sit on top
