ada Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 It should be the mogo.It says it can be used inplace of peat. If you're not sure,send them a message explaining you want the pure or additive free MG for carnivorous plants. ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about mogo she said she couldn't find such an item and it was multi purpose I was on about. I said no its mogo I've got yur site here in front of me and it definitely says mogo! Looks like I gonna have to phone back to mix n try n speak to someone who knows what they are on about! ((Jeez it's like being on a quest for the holy grail!!!)))).

gardenofeden Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Tell them you want the plain moorland gold without additives. The peat substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Can't get the stuff anywhere here in Ireland. I contacted the manufacturer and nobody in the rupublic sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CephFan Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have used Moorland Gold following advice from Stephen Morley. I ordered it online from here: http://www.organiccatalogue.com/p494/MOORLAND-GOLD-40-Litre/product_info.html It does tend to contain weed seeds so pull out small grass sprouts but it seems to be good stuff.

CephFan Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Hi Ada, where can you buy the Klassman peat? Online and delivered? Also, have the peat free trials tried Moorland Gold? It is more 'peaty' than say coir. Cheers Steve Edited March 19, 2015 by CephFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 i grew in moorland gold for years,it is o.k for adult plants but they don't grow and divide anywhere near as fast as they do in peat,and seedlings are so slow its a waste of time. I know klassman peat is there somewhere as a mate of mine in Ashford can get it easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Agrees with Ada regarding MOGO.... I planted out several seed tray " cells " with moorland gold, then sowed some hybrid Sarra seeds I had bought. I had tough grass shoots growing out of nearly every cell, long rooted buggers too so that when I tried to weed the grass out it would pull out most of the soil. I gave up in the end as I had dislodged most of the seeds. Some say to microwave it first to kill anything likely to sprout but I've just decided not to bother with it, it was expensive and very average I found... Not sure where you are in London cephfan but I got my peat from a garden centre on the foots cray bypass, just outside sidcup/ crittals corner area.

Skullkeeper Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ada, any chance you can ask your mate where he gets the Klasmann from?  i am near Heathrow and the nearest stockest i can find is 80 miles  away in West sussex  Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petesredtraps Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Give the "Mogo" it's marching orders, and get some proper Shamrock Irish moss peat. Got myself a nice big sack a couple of years ago, re-potted everything 50/50 peat/perlite ,all growing great now. Substitutes,just ask yourself, De-caff, alchohol free beer, low fat cheese, it all tastes like sh**,,,,,,,moral of the story "Get the real thing" . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CephFan Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I was looking online and found 200L of Irish peat at Euroflora for £20. It has obviously been stacked for quite a while as there is moss growing in a thin layer under the polythene but it seems good stuff. I got in touch with Frank after looking up 'peat 200' on eBay.co.uk he's certainly a character but it was the closest peat that I could find (JCT 25 of the M25.

HugoMorse Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I spent a lot of money in the past buying Moorland Gold. Full of seeds. You'll spend forever picking out seedlings. Glad to get back to Irish Shamrock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesredtraps Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 MOGO tends to clog up badly after a couple of years, it goes like clay ,really dense . I don't like the stuff at all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
