Exactly and with one other difference - the bales of straight Sphagnum Peat Moss are packed in Canada, i.e. no processing whatsoever. This is the premium part of the plant that is used in these bales.Promix is just mutilated Promoss (Premier) with perlite, wetting agent, myke, etc.
Bag appeal not just for stoners. I tell my neighbor this when he wants his veggies to look just like the ones in the store, when freshness, taste and nutritional value should be key.Once it hits the mixers it's crushed, cut, sliced, diced, etc. and then rehydrated to insure the look of 'freshness' for the ill-informed customer.
That business model seems to be working rather well for them......

I often looked at the woody stuff in the pile outback and see stuff growing on it as it decays. I really like putting my hands in this stuff and inspecting the textures. I don't really know exactly what I'm looking at, I just like dirt I guess. I don't think anyone's ever put their hands in a bag of synthetic whatevers and said "ah that feels good".The peats with the chunky stuff are the ones that have the higher microbial activity.
The sticks and stuff are fine,they add to the soil texture as well as add diversity from species of fungi and bacteria that populate those particular debris.
Just make sure when you mix a medium not to leave big dried clumps of peat when you lime or add humic material...break them up by hand.
MMYes, that's correct but seemingly barely second to Premier. They are both (I believe) mined in Northern Alberta.
Chunks are good. I like this, thanks guys.
Alright, so now I think your a nice guy and I probably read to much sarcasm into your post about it only taking 3 minutes to screen.
Anyways, sometimes I post on here without having smoked a bowl yet... probably not the best idea haha
That's a great price from the largest company in the peat moss industry - Sun Gro Horticulture.Majestic earth from the big box @$10 for 3cuf, which is a Fafard product. They are a Sun Grow co.
Absolutely not......Is there a way to look at the fibers to determine quality?

Their respective bogs are adjacent to each other. Sun Gro Horticulture (Sunshine) is less than 300 meters away according to all 3 - this constitutes bragging rights at the horticulture trade shows, i.e. Alberta's peat moss is preferred. Even with the 98% that use chemicals - not sure what that's about.
What I like about Alaska Peat is that they sell a 'pony bale' which is 2.8 c.f. and the price per c.f. is the almost the same as the regular 3.8 c.f. bale.
1 2.8 bale
2 buckets aeration something
2 buckets humus
6 c.f. mixed potting soil - makes measuring easier!!
