I'm not even sure if I would endorse that it is great in the soil.
It is good/bad in the soil.
It is good/bad on the soil.
So I should water it in and dust w/ lime then....
Well, the lime would be good.
How much did you put down?
So how come I have read on many websites about the values and virtues of peat moss spread on top of lawns? Just google 'peat moss on lawn' and there are copious amounts of advice like that.... I'm just lashing out because this chaps my *** after doing everything I have done so far... I am genuinely mad now. Buyer beware, I guess.
I think if they came over here they might say I'm crazy.
Here's the deal: how much do any of us really know about anything. Should we allow only the folks with a nobel prize write on stuff?
Those folks are trying to improve their OM ratio for their soil. A noble goal. Peat moss is almost pure OM. So they write a page advocating it. They just are not yet aware of the downsides.
Hell, my own web page about cast iron once said "don't use soap!" and later I learned that was wrong. D'oh!
Even the pages that feature the double blind studies are not that reliable.
Be skeptical. Make the best of it.
