Peat

Peat, a remarkable natural resource, is a dense, organic material formed over centuries in waterlogged, acidic environments. Its unique composition, primarily consisting of decomposed plant matter, provides several benefits and diverse uses.

In agriculture, peat serves as a valuable soil conditioner and growing medium. Its moisture-retaining properties make it ideal for enhancing soil structure and improving water retention in gardens, nurseries, and agricultural fields. Peat is commonly used in potting soils and horticultural applications.

Furthermore, peat has historical significance as a fuel source, particularly in regions with abundant peat deposits. It has been used for heating and cooking, although its use in this capacity has diminished in favor of more sustainable alternatives.

While peat offers undeniable benefits, its extraction is managed sustainably by our suppliers to protect wetland ecosystems and preserve its vital carbon-sequestering properties.
