You see Peat often in the “make your own mix” formulas

Usually 25 to 50 percent content

Good stuff. I need to use some around my house. The soil is rocky. Land and lake were once a gravel pit. You got to use a pick ax to dig a serious hole.

I’m not reading the article but the reason I use it is it can lighten up your dense soil a bit...so I try to add some every year....
