Peat-based media is a type of growing medium made from partially decomposed sphagnum moss, commonly used in horticulture for seed starting, potting plants, and soil amendment. Peat-based media is valued for its ability to retain moisture and nutrients while providing good aeration for plant roots. However, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of peat harvesting, leading to the use of alternative growing media in sustainable gardening.
