What is "peat"?
Peat is a dark, spongy material that forms over time in wetlands from the remains of dead plants and other organic matter. It is often used in gardening and agriculture as a soil conditioner or as an ingredient in potting mixes, helping to improve soil structure and moisture retention. Peat is light, holds water well, and is slightly acidic, which makes it beneficial for certain plants. However, it takes thousands of years to form, and its extraction can harm the environment, so it is important to use it carefully.
