Crazy, this stuff makes plants grow
This is both a great product, and a product that is good for the earth. It is better and cheaper than Peat moss, plus it is made of recycled paper product, instead of digging up a diminishing supply of Peat that is not carbon friendly. Plus, the real thing I like is that it does make plants grow!

Highly recommend for worm bedding
I purchased Pitt Moss for worm bedding based on a recommendation from a YouTube video. The moisture retention in this product is awesome! I did not have to worry about water dripping out of my worm bag, and the worms acclimated quite well. I know I can shred paper and cardboard, but frankly, I do not have time and needed something easier that would not serve as a deterrent to trying vermicomposting. This helps me keep it in the low maintenance range. Returning to buy more to have on hand since it sold out right after I purchased it. Will only use this product as my bedding.

Seems to be adequate
This is the 2nd bag I have bought. While it is still very early to determine how effective the product is, I generally believe it is good to use. I have planted a lot of shrubs this year, so I have been putting one or two handfuls in the bottom of the hole, along with handfuls of alfalfa pellets. There are no bad effects so far, but it is hard to tell if the product is effective.

Great product
I have purchased many, many bags of this product and think it is terrific. I mix it with compost to make a wonderful potting soil, and soil for potting perennials that I have divided. I also mix it with coconut coir for mulch. Rarely, if ever disappointed. Hopefully, in the future the company can figure out a way to dehydrate and compress the product to reduce the plastic packaging, thereby being even more environmentally forward than they already are.
