Peat Moss

This is an image of the label for the peat moss used. Peat moss was chosen to be added to help increase the general soil porosity, its high CEC (Cation exchange capacity) of 100-200 and its ability to hold 10 to 20 times its dry weight in water. All of these are positive qualities for giant pumpkin growing and peat moss was chosen because of its consistency compared to another media such as coco coir.
