Then I had a couple of other bags from another pallet and they were total crap. Premier peat moss is the main reason I switched to using NZLFSM a number of years back. I used a bale to repot most of my personal collection of flytraps and nearly lost a lot of them because there was a ton of minerals in the moss and I didn't flush it out at all.I don't use the premier brand peat moss. It seems to be pretty terrible based on a lot of growers' reveiws. I use Sunshine peat moss and have had no problem with it (not too many sticks in it). It doesn't leach minerals or anything and I haven't had to flush it at all, the soil remains nice and mineral free. Yes, basically all peat moss brands contain sticks but besides that, they're suitable for CP growing.
