Sourcing Grower‑Grade Peat Moss in Western Oregon

Consumer‑grade peat often contains high mineral levels that harm sensitive plants. Professional growers use coarse, washed peat from New Brunswick, Canada.

Why It Matters

• Lighter color, fluffier texture.
• Very low salt/mineral content.
• Outdoor rain flushes consumer peat, but greenhouse plants suffer buildup.
