Cordelia,
Good luck with your clay soil! Regarding the peat, one thing that a lot
of people are not aware of is that the peat industry is causing huge destruction
to bogs all over the world, bogs which took millennia to form.
Peat is great gardening stuff, organic &
useful, but it is part of a very complex, rare, and fragile ecosystem which is
being rapidly lost. There was a great article about this in the last Oregon
Tilth paper; I encourage everyone to explore more renewable substitutes, like
coconut fiber or other ag processing by-products, depending on your
needs.
Just my thoughts on this!
