1. Is sphagnum peat the same as sphagnum moss?
Al's recipe calls for sphagnum peat. The only stuff I saw at my local nursery was sphagnum moss, this stuff that expands to several times its packaged volume. Is that what I want?
2. I have some Osmocote already, so that takes care of the CRF. Can anyone recommend a micro-nutrient supplement (powder or mineral)? I've never used one and would prefer to buy something you would recommend rather than choosing blind.
(For those who've noticed my several posts, this is my last question of the day, promise!)
Thanks to all for your generous assistance.
