Peat moss is partially decomposed sphagnum moss plants, which are harvested from peat bogs. While peat moss is brown, like soil, it has a different texture and weight: it's light and spongy and crumbles into tiny splinters. It is difficult to wet, but once wet it retains water like a sponge, meaning it reduces drainage of water from soil.
Peat moss, composed primarily of sphagnum moss, does not itself add many nutrients to the soil. It does, however, absorb and retain nutrients that are in soil -- either naturally or derived from compost or fertilizers -- making them available to plants.or new planting beds, mix 2 inches of peat moss into the top 6 inches of soil before planting. For existing planting beds, carefully dig down 6 to 8 inches, being careful not to disturb the roots of already established plants.
