Peat Moss | 50L - Yates Hauraki Gold Peat

Peat Moss is 100% organic fiber as a naturally decayed fiber of the Sphagnum species of plants. It is a product from a reliable and sustainably managed harvesting practice here in NZ. One of its main uses is as a growing media and is on the rise all around the world because of its natural hygroscopic and soil conditioning qualities.

WCTNZ has chosen a supply and recommends the use of Hauraki Gold Peat Moss for its environmental safety and outstanding benefits to WCT systems. We have provided a mixing ratio for the composting system's range which is a recommended guide.

This, however, does not stop you from using COCO Peat in your composting system if it is believed it will work better.
