Peat is an organic soil type formed as a result of the decrease in the water level in lake beds, the prominence of plant activities, the death of the plant with the increase in water level in winter, and the constant repetition of this natural phenomenon, as well as the alternating accumulation of plant roots and stems over thousands of years.

Peat is an organic soil conditioner. It provides an ideal growth environment by regulating the air and humidity of the soil around the roots. It does not contain nutrients. It is a very valuable material in the cultivation of potted ornamental plants and saplings. It has a fibrous structure and the pH is between 5.5 - 6.5.
