Know before you buy
This grade refers to the structural integrity of the peat moss fibers. The longer fibers provide better aeration and structural support within your soil mix, which helps prevent compaction and encourages healthier root development.
Yes. Lambert The Black Bale is OMRI Listed, meaning it meets the standards required for use in certified organic production and gardening.
The coarse particle size is specifically designed to balance moisture retention with drainage. It holds onto water effectively while preventing the soil from becoming waterlogged, which is ideal for plants that need consistent moisture without soggy roots.
While you can use it as a soil amendment, this product is primarily formulated for professional blending. Because it is highly compressed, you will need to break it up and fluff it thoroughly before mixing it with other components like perlite, vermiculite, or compost.
The high compression allows for a larger volume of usable peat moss once it is fluffed, providing more yield per bale. This makes it a space-efficient choice for growers who need to store large quantities of material.
