Welcome!

We are excited to launch the new PittMoss blog. At PittMoss we want to share how we can help gardeners, big and small, produce healthy and beautiful plants while helping our planet. Our plan for this blog is to answer questions and discover unique insights and tips about gardening and horticulture. We also want to share what drives our passion to provide the best growing medium that is organic, up-cycled, sustainable and eco-friendly.

Here are a few of our frequently asked questions to get us started-
