In the UK we are trying to cut out the use of peat because of the destruction of peat bogs which are important ecologically.

[@gmonkey12776]

Can u please elaborate?

[@dollhead]

@@gmonkey12776 peat bogs are created over 1000s of years by dead organic matter accumulating in a wet environment, and if you give them millions of years, they'll eventually form coal. they're not very prevalent since they only thrive in boreal type environments, but they're an important environment for many different types of species and generally have really interesting ecological properties. you've probably heard of tollund man, they can preserve many things almost perfectly including people... and even butter lmao. so when people harvest them for the amazing water holing capabilities of peat moss, it's a very destructive process of using excavators and such and basically gets rids of 1000s of years worth of compressed moss and om, which is obviously not very sustainable since it takes so much time to form in the first place. it also potentially is getting rid of preserved artifacts which sucks. coco coir, on the other hand, is formed using the outer husk of coconut shells which is great considering that they would otherwise likely go to waste once people have gotten the coconut water and meat out of them. peat moss can hold about 20x its dry weight in water, while coco coir holds about 10x as much, but the latter is much much more sustainable!!

[@emmyashbaugh]

I was concerned about this also, Gardener Scott address this in one of his videos. Apparently much of the peet we use here in the United States anyway, comes from Canada & according to them is quite sustainable. Just another perspective to consider 💗 happy gardening!

[@ButterflyZo]

@@gmonkey12776 Peat bogs are huge carbon sinks, so they hold a lot of carbon that would otherwise be in the air contributing to global warming.

[@tealkerberus748]

Hence using coir instead. It's a renewable byproduct, and it helps support farmers in developing countries too.

After all of that wood chips as mulch on top and let sit over fall and winter for next Spring. Happy to see someone else use wood as the base in a raised garden.

“Kevin-in-the-box,” 😉 thanks for these great tips on raised bed gardening. Like so many of your viewers, we are also in the process of filling our own raised beds. First with trunk logs, rotted branches, twigs and small decomposing debris to fill in those empty pockets. Then we placed fish remains over the branches and then a layer of cardboard to slow down the settling process. In the remaining 14” we sifted decomposed leaf and tree branch soil from our forest. We have yet to ad chopped leaves, grass and our homemade compost plus bone + blood meal, sea compost, some horse manure and finally a well decomposed mulch, freely delivered in 2019 by tree pruners who (lucky for us) were working in the area. After a good watering down, this will sit and stew over our zone 5 winter for about 7 months. It is our hope that it will be veggie worthy when we plant it up next May. If you have any critique, we gladly welcome it. In the meantime, we’re paying a trip to our osteopath to reset our garden weary bodies for the next round of gardening!
