DescriptionLithuanian Peat Moss 180 Litre (Fine Grade) (Klasmann) (About 39kg) (20 bags per pallet) An ideal natural soil conditioner and a great way of adding organic matter and improve the water-holding ability of soil. Natural white sphagnum peat moss without fertiliser & additives. Lithuanian sphagnum peat moss is a slightly decomposed high moor peat without the addition of fertilizer or lime. Disclaimer: This item is made from 200 litres of peat moss and then compressed to its packed size of 4 cubic feet (113 litres). Once the product is spread apart it should expand to around 180 to 185 Litres of usable Peat Moss. Soil Improvement: When preparing new ground for plant cultivation spread 10 to 14 packs of sphagnum peat moss for every 100 sq metres. Moisten the peat moss well and work it. To retain the humus content and plant beds or for sowing lawn seed a 3cm deep layer of sphagnum peat should be worked into the top layer of the soil. When planting trees or shrubs the sphagnum peat moss should be mixed with the excavated soil from the hole in the ratio of 1:1. Production of Substrates: To establish a pH (H2O) of 5.5 to 6 approximately 4 kg of finely ground carbonic acid lime has to be mixed to every cubic metre. For growing azaleas, ericas or calluns we recommend liming at 1kg/cubic metre to obtain a pH (H2O) of approximately 4.5. Peat Moss Specifications: Type – High moor peat. Degree of decomposition – Slight to moderate decomposition. PH (H2O) – 3,5 to 4,5.
