What is peat moss? Peat moss consists of decomposed organic materials, typically decomposed sphagnum moss coupled with other organic materials. After decomposition, sphagnum moss and other organic materials form a characteristic dark, fibrous and compact material. This is a process that happens in nature but you can also create your own peat moss to use in the garden. There are certain similarities between peat moss and compost. Compost consists of decomposed organic matter, but this decomposition happens with the help of air. To create peat moss, the air has to be absent. It makes the decomposition process very slow but results in a more homogeneous material. Peat moss is an absorbent material so it’s ideal for many different garden uses, such as creating fertile soil and helping plants grow faster and healthier.
