Trappist Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi folks, Moss peat is getting harder to find, so just a 'heads up' that I purchased several bales of Shamrock Irish Moss peat today from Beechcroft Nursery near Stourbridge in the West Midlands. It claims to be 20 mins out of Birmingham - but I came across from Shropshire. It was £8.79 / 125l bale. They seemed to have plenty of stock, but it'd be worth ringing ahead if you're making the trip. http://www.beechcroft.com/ All the best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 This is usually where I get mine from, bought 3 bales last year, hope it doesnt go out of date or off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Anderson Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't think it will go off or out of date, I still have a Bale and a half that I bought over two years ago and it is in the same condition as when I bought it, and I use shamrock as well.

petesredtraps Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) You can also get it here http://www.no1garden...roduct_id=182�� 200 litre sacks, more exspensive than the bales but they do deliver it.

Trappist Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I doubt it'll go off - it's already been in the peat bog awhile! On a different note - I was talking to some Irish lads in the pub and they were amazed how difficult this stuff was to find in the UK. They said that the Irish are using this for fueling their power stations! Some much for the tree-huggers mentality?

Trev Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Been in the bog for upto 12000 years so not likely to go off soon. The quality of the Shamroock stuff has been going down hill for years, has lots of golfball size hard lumps in it these days, I have to seive it before I use it.
