Global supply chain disruptions rooted in shifting tariff policies are making it harder for many American companies to secure a reliable and affordable supply of goods for their operations. With increasing dependence on foreign peat sources, growers are facing unpredictable costs and logistical hurdles, which can impact their businesses.
That’s why PittMoss, an American-made soil alternative, is more important than ever. Manufactured in Ambridge, PA, from cellulose fibers, such as recycled paper and cardboard, PittMoss offers growers a stable, high-performing solution that reduces reliance on foreign materials. Whether blended with peat to extend your supply or used as a complete replacement, PittMoss is a proven, research-backed growing media, which delivers exceptional results.
PittMoss is a great alternative for growers looking to domesticate their supply chain with the added benefits of better performance and sustainability!
Peat-based supply chains have been unstable for years due to fluctuating availability, extreme weather conditions, and rising transportation costs. According to USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, peat imports have steadily increased while exports have dropped – leaving the horticultural industry more dependent than ever on international suppliers. Tariffs are just the latest challenge in a long line of disruptions.
Choosing PittMoss means choosing control over your supply chain. By integrating PittMoss into your growing media, you’re investing in a reliable, American-made product that has been extensively tested and trusted by commercial growers, nurseries, and retail consumers alike. Recognized by Country Living as the best peat-free soil and by Better Homes and Gardens as the best overall potting soil, PittMoss is setting the standard for sustainable, high-performance substrates.
Incorporating PittMoss into your blends strengthens your business against supply chain instability. Future-proof your growing operation today.
