Black Gold Peat Moss Plus | 8qt (240/PL)

Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss for Acid-Loving Plants, 8qt

Blueberries, azaleas, and other acid-loving plants struggle in a neutral or alkaline mix no matter how much fertilizer gets added, because the underlying pH locks certain nutrients out of reach. Black Gold Peat Moss Plus is straight Canadian Sphagnum peat moss with an added organic wetting agent, giving growers a naturally acidic amendment that can slightly lower the pH of more alkaline soils.

This 8qt bag ships 240 per pallet and is OMRI Listed for organic gardening, with the wetting agent built in to improve water penetration through the peat.
