Peat Moss

Jeff, Sorry I've missed your writings to "undo the damage", but I'd like to see the info that you are basing your statements on. Of course it's renewable...over hundreds of years (maybe thousands?). That's not exactly what most people have in mind when they talk about renewable resources, is it?
Can you send me some references, please?
Thanks!
Lynn

We both had been involved over the years trying to undo the damage of bad
writing by some garden writers bemoaning the use of Canadian sphagnum peat
moss because "it was not a renewalable resource".  Of course it is. The
European peat is what is not renewable. But that bad information hung on for
over ten years.
