Black Gold Peat Blend

So I went to the hardware store and needed some peat moss for my lawn. They didn’t have any of the $7 bails of pure peat so I asked the cashier if they had any cuz I didn’t want to pay $50 for the same size bail of Black Gold for my lawn and she sold this to me for $7 @latewood @garrigan62

Can I use it for non-hydro Grow? Will I need cal mag if I’m using Dyna Grow?

Black gold is a fine brand, it is one of the pioneers in dirt but fox farm is awesome, I use strawberry fields, from them you cant beat it, coco cor added, it’s an old school blend by our parents, made for fruiting and flowering plants lol

@Stomper

You’ll need to add soil to your peat along with perlite and/or vermiculite.

It has peat, composted bark, coco coir and perlite. I pretty much just use ffof so if I have to add that, I would rather use this for a big tomato bed I think. Not enough info on this brand yet for me.

3.8 cu ft for $7 bucks tho, if it isn’t bug infested and doesn’t cost more to supplement than what I am already doing that’s a small forest so the fixed income guy is screaming at me.

K so did some deeper research on this stuff. It not a new product at all. It’s just old Scott’s brand repackaged by the same folks that own Mirscle Grow now. In the reviews, they say it will work but i saw three reviews that said they got mites from it.

I will pass on lettin this anywhere near indoors. It will fill my outdoor pots and grow marigolds or something.
