Great sustainable alternative to peat moss
I used Pitt Moss in place of peat moss to make my own potting mix based on the recipe from the book Square Foot Gardening.ù (The recipe calls for equal parts peat, vermiculite, and blended compost.) It seems to have worked well and does a good job of keeping the mix moist. I really like that the product is sustainable (there is a limited supply of peat in the world and it apparently doesn't renew as quickly as it is consumed.) I also like that is made from recycled paper and that it is light weight, so easy to store.

Great soil conditioner
So far I have loved it. I use it as a part of some substrate/soil mixes for terrarium use and it’s been great!

Great for a Peat Free Soil Block Mix
I've been trying to find a recipe for a soil block recipe that doesn't contain peat due it's contribution to climate change from CO2 release. I've discovered that equal parts of Coconut Coir, PittMoss and well screened compost with Perlite or vermiculite added for drainage results in a soil block similar to using peat that doesn't crumble and holds moisture well. Very pleased that this product has been developed using locally sourced waste stream material
