How To
Soil Conditioning
- Moisten the Irish Moss Peat and spread a layer 2-4cm deep over the soil surface and dig in well
- When dug into soil, Irish Moss Peat will create a much more open structure, breaking down clay soil, improving drainage and air movement in the soil
- When dug into sandy soil, Irish Moss Peat will improve the soil structure, facilitating moisture retention during hot weather
Planting trees, shrubs & roses
- Dig a hole twice the diameter of the root ball of your plant and deep enough that the root ball is just below soil level
- Water the plant and allow to drain. Line the hole with Irish Moss Peat
- Place the plant in the hole and backfill around the root ball with a 50/50 mix of Irish Moss Peat and soil
- Sprinkle Westland Rose Plant Food around the plant and fork in. Firm the Irish Moss Peat around the plant using your heel and water well
Lawns
- Before sowing a new lawn it is important to ensure the soil texture is uniform otherwise settlement will occur causing an uneven lawn surface
- This can be ensured by mixing a 2 inch layer of Irish Moss Peat with the soil and mixing well
- This will improve the soil structure and encourage the grass seed to germinate
Mulching
- Remove all weeds from the area to be treated
- It is recommended to place a ground cover membrane on the soil surface before applying Irish Moss Peat
- Spread a layer 2-4cm deep evenly over the surface. A mulch layer of Irish Moss Peat will help to reduce moisture loss from the soil during hot weather and protect the roots from frost. It will also help reduce weeds
