Rather than a bale of peat, get a bale of promix, which is essentially peat that has had the pH and drainage improved with the addition of, resp[ectively, lime and perlite.

But I have never tried to store peat or promix over long periods of time so I'm not sure.

Perlite is added to insure pore spacing and just the right drainage. It's dark, earthy-smelling and rich! B)Paydirt (not as Rating: 5
