    You could google, rather than reignite a heated debate

    in a nutshell, peat is taken from peat bogs. These have taken millions of years to create, and are home to lots of wildlife. So we dig them up to use as compost

    Your choice of growing medium is your choice. See what's available locally, research the peat argument, and make your choice
