Peat moss shortage

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

So I've been gettin this from a couple grow shops around the area
They've been having trouble grtting pezt based products due to a overly wet 21/22 winter and a lack of harvest yields being met.
I guess I'm glad I just bought a bunch of the Sunshine 4 because that's one they're sayin is getting hard to source.

I don't use a large amount of it, but, I get mine at the local feed store and I recently purchased a compressed bale, and they had plenty. perhaps the soil mixers are being held up. I usually get my lime, perlite, vermiculite, alfalfa meal and a few others I don't remember offhand. Usually cost me the same for a huge sack as it would for 5 LB bags online.
I make my own mixes so I use up lager quantities {always wanted to spell that with 3 T's} with ease. I guess I'll make sure I'm fully stocked, good growin'...
Now that I think of it, the price of 5KG coco blocks nearly doubled in the last year, and I noticed that any sold at fair prices, didn't last long.

Tbh I've never missed peat in my soils since cutting it out. Coco coir has better moisture permeability, stable ph, and is sustainable.

I thought it was due to the blockade the truckers had going on for a while. Seemed like right after that got broken up I started seeing it round here again but only at the big stores. My local lowes had a random pallet of sunshine 4 bales which I thought was odd because they've never stocked it, but I jumped on the opportunity & bought ten ? price was pretty good too somewhere around $28 each.

Same here. I decided to try it again {after 3 years}, that said, I'll mix 1-2 gallons into each recharge until it's gone. Since going full organic, the only time I won't recharge a spent mix, would be over disease or insect probs. My plants don't care for very much peat in the mix.

I just dumped the rest of my peat bale into my wife's garden. I'm done with it in my grows!
