Sphagnum s large cell structure enables it to absorb air and water like a sponge. Although peat moss does not contain nutrients, it does adsorb nutrients added to or present in the soil, releasing them over time as the plants require. This saves valuable nutrients which are otherwise lost through leaching. CSPM is the best soil conditioner you can use in the garden because it provides the right balance of air and water for plants and grass.
Peat moss loosens clay soils and binds sandy soils.
No other soil amendment provides this combination of benefits. Peat forms at a rate of 1 to 2 millimetres a year. There are more than 270 million acres of peatlands in Canada. Canadian sphagnum peat moss is a sustainable resource. Annually, peat moss accumulates at more than 70 times the rate it is harvested.
