Peat Moss
Just a heads up: in organic gardening Peat Moss is a no no. The reason is, it is not a sustainable product. It is found in bogs and wetlands and harvesting it destroys the habitat. It is one of the ingredients of the soil for square foot gardening, but I would suggest just use a different kind of manure or leaf mold or compost for the 1/3 portion of peat moss.

Try coconut-coir based products as an alternative to peat moss. They work even better than peat moss and shouldn't be much different in price. I know of one company called PlantBest that sells a peat replacement. www.plantbest.com
