Sunshine Peat Moss

Peat moss is used as a form of compost for soils. Peat moss is partially decomposed sphagnum moss. Most potting soils that are purchased from a garden center have some amount of peat moss in them. Although it holds water and is great for plants that require low pH levels, it has no nutrients of its own. Any once-living form of vegetation can be used in place of peat moss.
