It is for.med by the laying down of successive -generations of plants under water. In the absence cf air, these plants deccmijose very slowly. (Ht>w many plant groups :re h solved? Genei ally s;-eaking, there are four major plant groups: the sphaagnum group, camposed cf of various herbaceous plants. This peal has a strong acid reac tion (piH 3.5 - 1.5'; the hypnum group, associated with tiie moss es, sedges, and other flowering plants. This type is generally neutral or slightly alkaline in re action; the i-oed-sedge group, formed from sec) .es, cattails and grasses; and the shriib and tree group, formed from b'-irherries alder and willow. This last grci. p yields a peal wliich lacks uniformity because of the coar ser material content such as de caylng fcisk, twigs and bramhes Sometimes the terms peat and muck are used interchangeably between the t.wo products. Peat usually has a mineral eonlenl cf about 35 pter (a!nt while muck soil may ra.nge betwt»en .33 per cent -and 75 per cent. -Murh of the “organic soil” you buy from yoiur favorite supplier is mu k. The peat you buy is, for the m.ost part, imported from Gc."- many er '.'anadu and is formed by the decomposition ef the sn'iagnu.m group. It has an arid reaction and a nitrogen content ri"-o;n . from l per cent t.-j ,3 per cent. It is low in both phos phorus and potash and is rela tively free of weed seed and fungi. Peat has many uses. It in creases the waterholding capa city cf sandy soils and provides I better aeration in closer textur ed soils. It is a must for .suc cessfully growing the acid lov ing plants and is -ised in .'ar.ge (nnntilies by the nurseryman and florist for seed germination, i-ooting cuttings and in the prep aration of soil mixtures for pot ting planus.
