Sterile

• One of the best features of peat moss is its sterility. It doesn’t have any bacteria, fungus, harmful chemicals, and no weedseeds. This makes the material perfect for seedlings, which are quite vulnerable to the surrounding environment.

Moisture retention

• Peat moss can absorb and retain water very well. This makes a great place for seed starting and as the mixes with other growing materials.

Availability

• It is handy to find peat moss in most of the garden stores or nurseries in the US.

Acidic

• Most of peat moss low in pH from 3.5 to 6 on average depending on the source of the peat moss is mined. It is very suitable for acid-craving plants such as strawberries, blueberries.

Does not compact

• Even though peat moss absorbs water well, it does not compact, unlike soil. The problem with compaction is that it makes it hard to create any space for the water and the air to pass through. By introducing peat moss to any compact material, the compaction problem is solved and makes the growing mix drain better.
