Peat Moss Question

Post by Rick Dotson »

Anybody have a source for peat moss. I am building a new sump and want to add peat to the media. I am looking for about 2 gallon worth.

I have read that Home Depot type is okay if it does contain any fertilizers.
Any recommendations?

I believe any store that has a garden center will sell it, but it comes in large bags, just like top soil or mulch.

I have about 2 cubic feet of peat. I got too much for the bog I built.
