So, now the thought comes to mind, how much Peat Moss would it take to raise the CEC in one of my 1250 sq ft patches from 15 to 25 (loam soil)? Roughly, 35 cu yards... That's 249 bags of peat moss from Ruarl King (3.8 cu ft ea) for one patch. Which is basically $5,000 USD for ONE patch.. That's a big NOPE for me, lol.. Alternativley I could do 40 cu yards of shredded / composted leaf matter to achieve the same results.. So it looks like I'm going to be collecting leaves in the future!...
