The sphagnum moss in peat bogs holds massive amounts of carbon—peat bogs sequester twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests. When peat bogs are drained and harvested, they release large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.Living MixPeat-Free Potting Mix is an aerobic growing media, rich in beneficial fungi. Growers requiring a strictly sterile mix should heat sterilize before use, which may alter the benefits of the living mix by decreasing microbial activity that may provide nutrients and some natural resistance to plant pathogens.
