Clover Irish Moss Peat (Medium Grade)

⚪ Type: Unfertilised / Blank Canvas
No nutrients have been added at all. This gives you total control over feeding from day one, with zero risk of the substrate fighting your own nutrient plan. The tradeoff: you must start feeding immediately — there's no built-in safety net if you forget or under-feed early on.

🇮🇪 Genuine Irish Peat Moss – Medium Grade Professional Soil Conditioner

Pure Organic Matter | Moisture Retention | Acid-Loving Plant Specialist

Bring the legendary growing power of the Emerald Isle to your garden. Our Genuine Irish Peat is a premium, sustainably sourced soil amendment known for its incredible ability to manage water and nutrients. Medium Grade is our coarser, more structural peat — the right choice when you're potting established plants rather than starting delicate seedlings.

Fine Grade vs Medium Grade: Which One Do You Need?

Both are the same genuine Irish Sphagnum peat, graded differently. Our Fine Grade (0-10mm) is the right choice for seed starting, propagation, and carnivorous plants like Venus Flytraps, where a smooth, fine texture matters for delicate new roots. This Medium Grade (0-30mm) is coarser and more structural — better suited to potting established ericaceous shrubs, soil conditioning, and mulching, where you want body and aeration rather than a fine seed-bed texture.

Why Medium Grade Irish Peat is Superior:

Balanced Structure: The 0-30mm graded, sod-cut peat promotes healthy root development in established plants, with an air-filled porosity of 15-19% for genuine aeration, not just moisture retention.

Natural pH Buffer: Naturally acidic (pH 3.8-4.2), making it the essential choice for Acid-Loving Plants like Blueberries, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and Camellias.

Nutrient Security: High Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) means it holds onto fertilizers and nutrients, preventing them from washing away when you water.

Sterile & Weed-Free: Harvested from deep, ancient bogs, our peat is naturally free of weed seeds, pathogens, and harmful chemicals.

Improved Soil Structure: Breaks up heavy clay soils and adds body to sandy soils, creating a crumbly, "loamy" texture mature root systems love.

Best Used For:

Acid-Loving Shrubs & Established Plants: The #1 choice for potting on Blueberries, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Camellias, Gardenias, and Hydrangeas once they're past the seedling stage.

Soil Conditioning: Improves structure in both sandy soils (adds moisture and body) and clay soils (enhances drainage and aeration).

Mulching: Excellent for surface moisture retention and weed suppression around acid-loving beds.

General Gardening: Stimulates root growth and provides humus to activate beneficial soil bacteria.
