Use An Alternative To Peat Moss (Tips For Green Living)
Peat moss is readily available at garden centers for use as an additive to soil. It’s ability to hold moisture makes it very useful for gardeners. And although having to water your gardens less is great for the environment, peat moss is not. Peat is harvested from ancient wetlands and by removing it the natural filtration of groundwater is disturbed, natural flood prevention is altered and the homes of many species of wildlife are destroyed. A great alternative to better hold moisture in your soil is coir (coconut fiber).

i agree, peat moss sometimes, comes really handy to gardeners like me.
Coir (coconut fiber) is a fantastic alternative, something I have used for years and will continue to do so. Peat as we know will be reduced in compost more and more in the near future. Peat free products are being used so much more and the test results read very well indeed.
