However, if you’re looking for something more “friendly” to the in-pot environment, something that won’t decompose and compress, suffocating the roots, you might want to consider rock wool cubes. If your environment criterion is broader, they won’t qualify, due to the energy expended in manufacturing, but that’s up to you.

Ahh I just realized that I misunderstood/miss read what I was reading, in that the sphagnum moss is sustainably farmed but peat moss is not sustainable. That makes me feel better, sphagnum works really well for me since my medium tends to dry out a little quicker.
Thanks for the info ☺️
