Re: Peat

**"* L* <t*@earthlink.net>**

Forgive me all! But the idea of trusting that corporations (Canadian or 
American) will put work into renewing peat bogs over a one-hundred year 
cycle is idiotic. The earth continues to warm; the US government and the 
majority of the population wish to burn gas like there's no tomorrow; the 
semi's plow the roads with more truckers on the way; cereal prices will rise 
as now everybody wants to sell corn for fuel; we're fighting a war we cannot 
win; and by the time everybody wakes up we'll be growing bananas in Philly. 
So who is going to guard and turnover the peat beds? As to peat in soil 
mixes, make your own using potting soil, refined soil, whatever soil, plus 
compost or composted manure, and have better plants. Regards, Peter
