INSTALLING DRIP IRRIGATION IN RASIED BEDS, spring cleaning, antiquing + Barbour outlet store

We’re about one week away from planting up the raised beds, so that means preparing them with compost and installing drip irrigation from Drip Depot! Also, a much needed spring clean on the three-season porch, a trip to my favorite antique store and a bonus visit to the Barbour outlet store in Milford, NH!

What is peat (?) ? Sorry not sure on spelling.

[@ThePlaceWithGrace]

Great question!
Peat moss (often listed as "sphagnum peat moss") is a decomposed organic matter harvested from peat bogs. It retains water very well, is sterile and has a spongey texture that doesn't compact which is why it is such a desirable growing medium. However, peat moss is effectively a non-renewable resource because it takes thousands of years to form.
I'm always looking for more ways to be sustainable, so if I can get my hands on something peat-free, that would be my choice. One popular alternative is coconut coir, so I'm hoping to experiment with that this coming year!
