[ Google Scholar] One of the companies at the forefront of developing new uses and industrialisation was the Eclipse Peat Company owned by the Alexander family. By the early decades of the 20th century they had built factories, were manufacturing products such as “peat litter” (bedding for animals) and selling “Hummell” for putting greens and race courses. Did You Know? Peat bogs are an important place for storing carbon. In one year the peat dug up for use in garden compost in Britain alone releases almost half a million tonnes of carbon dioxide – this is equivalent to 100,000 cars on the road – National Trust.

Peat has been used by Mother Nature for millennia to clean water. Wetlands are natural environmental filters because of the peaty, organic soils common to many shallow water systems.Each peat type by the ratio of the main plants of the peat-forming plants in their requirement for abundant water supply is divided into subtypes:

Saharawi-sphagnum peat moss – peat moss grass and moss groups in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65 % of residues herbaceous dominated scheuchzer, 35 to 65 % of sphagnum moss and not more than 15 % pine. Spruce peat – peat wood group, in the Botanical composition is from 40 to 100 % of the wood residues, which are dominated by the remains of the bark and wood of spruce.

The resulting plantations of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta) and Sitka spruce ( Picea sitchensis), species native to North America, failed to thrive. The Flow Country had been treeless for thousands of years for good reason. Peat soil is often too acidic and nutrient-poor to support healthy trees, and the Flow Country endures howling winter winds of up to 90mph, which can stunt their growth or yank them out by the roots.

Peat, formation, properties, types, production and application.

Peat moss is formed over thousands of years through a natural process that involves the decomposition, compaction, and preservation of organic matter. Decomposition Stage About the Author: Peggy Jones is the VP of sales and research at American Peat Technology (APT). Peggy started at APT nearly 15 years ago and now oversees product development and customer relationships. Leaf Mold– maple, oak, and sycamore are among the principle leaf types suitable for the preparation of leaf mold. Layers of leaves and soil are composted together with small amounts of nitrogenous compounds for approximately 12 to 18 months. The use of leaf mold can effectively improve the aeration, drainage and water holding properties of a growing media. Although these materials are readily available at low cost, leaf mold is not extensively used in container production. Chemical composition and properties of peat depend directly on the type, Botanical composition and decomposition degree. The composition of peat is composed of the following chemical elements: carbon – 48-65 % of the organic matter (the Organic part of peat that the dry matter, excluding ashes), oxygen – 25-45 %, hydrogen – 4,7-7 %, nitrogen of 0.6 to 3.8 %, sulfur – up to 1,2 % (in rare cases – up to 2.5 %), calcium – up to 5 % and silicon oxide – to 43 % by weight of ash, calcium oxide, up to 40 %, aluminium oxide – up to 12 %, iron oxide – up to 13%. There are also trace elements: zinc – 250 mg/kg, copper – 0,2-85 mg/kg, cobalt is 0.1 – 10 mg/kg, molybdenum, and 0.1-10 mg/kg, manganese – 2-1000 mg/kg. In the component composition of the organic matter content of peat bitumen (benzene compounds) is 1.2-17 %, water soluble and hydrolyzable substances from 10-60 %, of cellulose, 2-10 %, humic acid – 10-50 %, lignin (neytralizuya residue) – 3-20 %. Drumochter has been selected for its extensive areas of blanket bog which lie not only midway between the oceanic blanket bogs of the west and the drier, more continental bogs of the eastern Grampians, but also midway along the north–south transition. The kinds of bogs represented and their surface patterns reflect this intermediate position. In the Pass of Drumochter there is the most easterly extensive occurrence of western M17 Scirpus cespitosus – Eriophorum vaginatum blanket mire with typical species such as deergrass Trichophorum cespitosum, purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea, cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix and bog asphodel Narthecium ossifragum. These low altitude bogs are generally rich in the bog-mosses Sphagnum capillifolium and S. papillosum. At higher altitudes M17 is replaced by M19 Calluna vulgaris – Eriophorum vaginatum blanket mire. The high altitude bogs show widespread hagging and extensive bare peat, a common phenomenon in the upland bogs in UK. Above about 800 m heather Calluna vulgaris is replaced by cowberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea and montane dwarf-shrubs, mainly bog bilberry Vaccinium uliginosum and crowberry Empetrum nigrum ssp. hermaphroditum.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Bagasse is a waste bi-product of the sugar industry. It may be shredded and/or composted to produce a material which can increase the aeration and drainage properties of container media. Because of its high sugar content, rapid microbial activity results after the incorporation of bagasse into a media. This decreases the durability and longevity of bagasse and influences N levels. Although bagasse is readily available at low cost, (usually transportation), its use is limited. Jooné, G.K.; Dekker, J.; van Rensburg, C.E.J.
