    Description

    Manutec Peat Moss 5L

    Manutec Peat Moss is a natural, fibrous material that holds up to ten times its weight in water, helping soil stay moist longer. It’s perfect for improving soil quality and boosting plant growth. Ideal for all types of gardening, this 5L pack is a great addition to any garden.

    Key Features

    • Moisture Retention: Holds up to 10 times its weight in water, ensuring plants remain hydrated.
    • Soil Conditioner: Enhances both sandy and heavy clay soils that are deficient in organic matter.
    • Mulching Benefits: Perfect for potted and outdoor plants, including ferns, palms, and roses, as well as acid-loving plants like azaleas and gardenias.
    • Propagation Medium: Ideal for creating potting mixes and propagation mediums to support seedling grow.

    How to Use

    • As a Soil Conditioner: Apply a 5 cm layer of Manutec Peat Moss and mix it into the top 10-15 cm of soil. This will enhance water retention and nutrient absorption in sandy soils while improving drainage in clay soils.
    • For Mulching: Spread a 5-7 cm layer around the root areas of trees and shrubs. This helps reduce water loss and minimizes heat buildup around shallow-rooted plants.
    • Making Potting Mixes: Combine 4 parts Manutec Peat Moss with 1 part propagating sand. Keep the mixture moist and consider adding a complete N.P.K fertiliser at half the recommended strength when raising seedlings.

    FAQ

    What is Manutec Peat Moss 5L and how is it different from Sphagnum Moss?

    Manutec Peat Moss is a fibrous material derived from decomposed Sphagnum moss, known for its excellent moisture retention properties. Unlike Sphagnum Moss, which is the living part of the plant above ground, Peat Moss is the dead material found below, typically dark brown or black in colour. Both serve different purposes in gardening, with Peat Moss primarily used for soil conditioning and improving water retention.

    How should I use Manutec Peat Moss in my garden?

    Manutec Peat Moss can be used as a soil conditioner by mixing it into the top layer of soil to enhance moisture retention and nutrient absorption. It is also effective as a mulch, applied around plants to reduce water loss and maintain soil temperature. For potting mixes, combine it with propagating sand to create an ideal medium for seedlings.

    Is Manutec Peat Moss suitable for all types of plants?

    Yes, Manutec Peat Moss is versatile and can benefit a wide range of plants, particularly acid-loving varieties such as azaleas and gardenias. It improves soil structure for both sandy and heavy clay soils, making it suitable for various gardening applications. However, it’s always best to consider specific plant needs when using any soil amendment.
