Which moisture content does peat normally have?

Normally, Terracult’s white peat has a moisture content of 50-60 %. The quality suffers when the moisture content is lower; when the packaging is pressed, volume losses can arise and re-wetting can be difficult. Sometimes the moisture content reaches more than 60 %, mostly when the harvest conditions are not ideal. This then can limit the maximum amount of loading per truck.

One can generally say that the peat’s high water holding capacity is unsurpassed and that it positively influences plant growth when there is a high amount of air at the same time.
