I would not use peat in general due to sustainability issues. In order to gather peat, peat bogs have to be dug up destroying vegetation and the fragile wetland and bog ecosystem. Peat also grows extremely slowly at only 1 mm per year in even the healthiest of bogs. Peat bogs are also the most efficient carbon sinks in the world and the conservation of these wonderful and majestic wetlands is critical to solving the climate crisis.
Peat bogs are also important habitat to many temperate orchid species!!
