Ira Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Peat refers to "dirt" whereas peat moss is another name for sphagnum moss. Peat moss is a moss. Take peat moss, pile it up, keep it wet, let it rot for decades and then you'll have peat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Peat moss is a moss. Take peat, pile it up, keep it wet, let it rot for decades and then you'll have peat. So if you rot peat, your left with peat? :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 thanks So for breeding killies etc.. which do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 peat as in the stuff you can buy as a bale at the garden centre or Bunnings. If you can find old style Jiffy Pellets with no fertiliser I think they are good too, Barrie used to use those. Jiffy 7s have fert in there though, I've never found the old styles ones personally.

alanmin4304 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 A bale of Hauraki peat is the way to go. Peat is anaerobically decayed sphagnum moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
