Super Moss 23820 Mountain Green Sphagnum, Mini Bale, Natural Dried

I was really concerned when the little bale first arrived because I was concerned it would be too mulch-like. It was not. I've used bales of peat moss in the past so I knew of its expansion properties once it was soaked in water for 10 minutes or so. True to the advertisement and product literature it doubled or tripled in volume. I bought it to reline the tops of 9 hanging baskets that the birds have used to line their own nests. It was sufficient to re-line the top few inches of my 9 baskets hanging around our porches, plus it did 2 other baskets in our yard that were nearly empty of moss. I'm ordering another bale to finish the remaining basket(s) in our yard and to have the necessary materials to repair the baskets on an ongoing basis. Once the moss is in place it holds the potting mix perfectly, allowing wonderful drainage, yet helping to preserve moisture, too. And the birds really appreciate the soft, natural nesting material, too, I'm sure, giving a sanitary base before lining their nests with our horses' tail and mane hairs. Posh life, these nestlings! :-)

Great quality even if the shipping took a good moment. Would re-order again when needed!

This product is terrible I advise you not to sell it to anyone. I soaked it and it smells like rotten garbage. I had no choice but to use it. It was also very sandy and dirty I have to rinse it several times. I hope the smell will fade away.

Use it with all of my pets that need to maintain a moisture/humidity in their enclosures. Also use it to propagate plants..and keep moisture in potted plant. The compact size makes it easier to shelf, I just pull out the amount I need and place it back on the shelf.

Garbage Do Not Buy, over priced for crap
