Perhaps Adrian didn't even know. I have used several different brands
of peat moss (not Hyponex) all of which were fine for outdoors use.
When I grow bog CP inside I use the stuff which comes in those smaller
clear plastic bags so I can see what I buying. This peat moss has been
sterilized, read the label to check. It should be decomposed Sphagnum
moss a brown powery stuff and nothing else, well you might see a couple
twigs and similar stuff in the 2 or 4 cubic foot size packages.

Hyponex peat moss is... uh.. hmm... well it just ain't peat moss.

If you mean Tom Hayes, he isn't on the list anymore. He still has
e-mail (on a limited basis) at KLMott@planetx.bloomu.edu. I forwarded
your letter to him.
