Types, subtypes, groups and types of peat. Equestrian, transitional and lowland peat: Coconut coir, also known as coco peat or coir peat, is a byproduct of coconut processing and is rapidly gaining popularity as the best-known alternative to peat moss.

CEC provides buffering against changes in pH, available nutrients, calcium levels, and soil structure [37]. The organic amendments used in our research led to an increase in soil CEC, especially in the GWC plots. This might have resulted from a high degree of organic matter oxidation in the GWC-amended soil, which could increase CEC values [38]. We also noted that, from 2010 to 2012, the CEC tended to increase in the SP, FR, and GSF plots. This may primarily be due to the long-lasting decomposition process of organic amendments [22]. Each peat type by the ratio of the main plants of the peat-forming plants in their requirement for abundant water supply is divided into subtypes: There are three main types of peat material, fibric, hemic or sapric. Most gardeners are likely to recognise two types:

li>Mainland UK - next day courier with pre-12pm or pre-4pm delivery services (excluding some Scottish postal codes). The degree of decomposition of peat ranges from 1 to 70 %. Depending on the degree of peat decomposition distinguish the poorly decomposed peat (20 %), sredneslozhivsheysya (20-35 %) and silnoroslye (over 35 %). The maximum value of the degree of decomposition is found in wood and wood-grass peat group, the minimum from the moss. Peat from the chemical point of view, is a complex mixture of mineral and organic components. The content of mineral components should be it is not more than 50% in terms of dry substance. The presence of mineral components and their quantity determine the ash content of the peat. Everything else is organic decomposition products of plants, structureless (amorphous) organic matter (compost, humus). In its natural state peat contains 86-95% water.

Saharawi-sphagnum peat moss – peat moss grass and moss groups in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65 % of residues herbaceous dominated scheuchzer, 35 to 65 % of sphagnum moss and not more than 15 % pine. Leaf Mold– maple, oak, and sycamore are among the principle leaf types suitable for the preparation of leaf mold. Layers of leaves and soil are composted together with small amounts of nitrogenous compounds for approximately 12 to 18 months. The use of leaf mold can effectively improve the aeration, drainage and water holding properties of a growing media. Although these materials are readily available at low cost, leaf mold is not extensively used in container production. Unsustainable/Unrenewable - Peat is a huge carbon storage system laid down (produced) over thousands of years that take a significant amount of time to re-grow. The commercial harvesting of peat far outweighs the replacement so it could be argued that to continue harvesting is unsustainable. Peat moss is an important component of many gardening and agricultural products, but its harvesting can have significant environmental impacts.Soil bulk density and total porosity were determined using the methods described by Bao (2005) [25]. pH and EC were determined with an MP521 pH/EC meter (Shanghai, China) for a slurry consisting of 1∶5 (W/V) soil/distilled water. Soil organic carbon content was determined by the potassium dichromate wet-combustion method. Total N was determined using the micro-Kjeldahl method. Total P was determined with a colorimetric method [25]. Total K was measured with flame photometric detectors. Available N was determined with a micro-diffusion technique after alkaline hydrolysis. Available P was extracted using 0.5 M NaHCO 3 and was measured spectrometrically. Available K was measured by flame photometry after NH 4OAc neutral extraction [26].

Peat bogs are fragile ecosystems that play an important role in carbon sequestration and the preservation of biodiversity.The wood-reed peat – peat woody-herbal groups, in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65% of the herbaceous residues, of which more than 35 % of the residues of cane, and from 15 to 35% of wood. Fenwood peat – Contains the remains of willow, birch and alder, which grew in wet woodland (4,000 to 5,500 years old)

Specific heat of combustion, MJ/m3 (increases with increasing degree of decomposition and content of bitumen) Cost – Peat is cheap to extract and peat bogs have few other ‘productive’ uses, so it is very cost effective. If however some growers use peat in plug plants to save costs then other suppliers not using peat may become 'too expensive' and be priced out of the market. Perlite does not hold water as well as peat moss or coconut coir, but it can be mixed with other materials to create a well-draining potting mix. Cotton grass-sphagnum peat moss – peat moss grass-moss group, in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65 % of residues with a predominance of herbaceous cotton, 35 to 65 % of sphagnum moss and not more than 15 % pine.

The use of peat in the gardening and horticulture industry has significantly reduced over recent years, original targets were published by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs to eliminate the use of peat by 2020. Most recently the government have put a plan in place to protect peatlands and therefore gardeners will be banned from buying peat by May 2024. The reasons behind this are summarised as follows:
