ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This was a fun podcast for me because I think there's a lot of misinformation around this topic and it was great to hear from an expert! Sphagnum Peat Moss is the gold standard for the horticulture industry. In N. America we use the majority of our peat for growing plants. Are there better options?

In this episode we talk about why peat moss is such a popular choice for media as well as the pros and cons of the current substrates on the market.
