Installation Notes

Work peat moss into existing soil using a spade or tiller, blending thoroughly to avoid layering that can restrict water movement. Wear gloves and a dust mask when handling dry peat moss in quantity, as fine particles can become airborne. Moisten the peat moss before or during incorporation to help it integrate evenly and begin absorbing soil moisture. Follow local extension service or agronomic guidelines for recommended amendment rates based on soil test results.
