Peat moss is one of the most reliable and versatile growing media available—and when it comes to quality, Aurora Peat stands out. For decades, growers across North America have trusted Aurora’s sphagnum peat moss for its consistency, purity, and unmatched soil-conditioning benefits.
Here are five key peat moss benefits that make it a must-have for both commercial growers and home gardeners:
1. Exceptional Water Retention
Peat moss absorbs and retains water far better than most other soil amendments. This is especially valuable in container gardening, hanging baskets, or hydroponic setups where consistent moisture is critical.
2. Improved Soil Aeration
Aurora peat moss creates air pockets in heavy, compacted soils, allowing roots to breathe and grow. Whether you’re growing vegetables or ornamentals, proper aeration is key to healthy, vigorous plants.
3. Natural pH Buffer
Aurora peat is naturally acidic, which helps balance alkaline soils. It also works well as a base for custom potting mixes, where pH can be adjusted by adding lime or other amendments.
4. Sterile and Weed-Free
Our peat moss is free of weed seeds, pests, and pathogens. It’s a clean medium—perfect for starting seeds or growing mushrooms, where cleanliness and control are essential.
5. Long-Lasting Structure
Unlike compost or other organic matter that breaks down quickly, peat moss holds its structure over time. That means longer-lasting benefits for your soil and fewer changes to your media mix.
Whether you’re amending a garden bed or creating a professional-grade potting mix, Aurora Peat provides reliable results and peace of mind. And because we harvest using sustainable practices and restore every bog we touch, you can feel good about your purchase.
