I’m trying to propagate some string of turtles on peat moss. Never done it before so we’ll see how it goes.

Good luck! I hope it works

I don’t use peat moss for anything

I used to add it to my soil mix, but it stays wet longer than I’d like for my types of plant. Did you have any uses in mind?

#### Brianna replied on 2023-11-08

I accidentally bought a big bag of it and am trying to figure out how to use it up :) I had mixed it into some of my soil too, but it’s keeping my plants too wet like you said. I’m planning to use it as part of my soil mix for plants that like to stay moist, and I may also try using it for props

Aw bummer! I hate getting the wrong thing by accident. I’ve heard some people use it to store bulbs over winter. Idk if that’s relevant to you

No! It makes soil hydrophobic, and I don’t like that
