> I use this mix in each bed--shredded leaves, peat moss,

There is a lot of concern in the UK about the use of peat moss. 
It is not a renewable resource and vast areas of land throughout the 
world are being destroyed to supply gardenred with peat. There are 
other ways of doing things, e.g. making leaf mould, making compost 
from household and garden waste. From what I have seen above it seems 
that the 'natural' soil is not being conditioned to produce a healthy 
productive soil but is being replaced by importing vast amounts of 
 material. That does not sound so good to me......
