What is better peat moss or wood chips?

Peat moss and wood chips serve different purposes. You put peat moss around the roots below the soil, or mix it deep with the planting mixture. It holds in moisture when you are getting a plant started. You put wood chips on top of the soil. They help keep out weeds. They make weeds visible.

Why is peat shortaned?

I don't believe it is. Peat moss is a growing, living plant. When peat moss dies, it clumps together in a peat bog of water, and over the decades, gets more and more compacted. This product is then called, "Peat". The peat then can be cut into pieces and taken home to use as fuel for the stove or fireplace. This is very handy when there is not much wood around, and coal is too expensive.


A solid fuel which can be used in a boiler or an open fire?

One example of a solid fuel is coal. Coal was used in many early factories during the beginning of the industrial, but was phased out because it was not a clean burning fuel source.


How do you make coal on alchemy classic?

In Alchemy Classic, you can create coal by combining peat and wood. Peat is made by mixing grass and swamp. Wood is made by combining tree and tool (metal + life). By combining these elements in the correct order, you can create coal.

What are the disadvantages of having peat as an energy source?

Peat emits high levels of greenhouse gases when burned, contributing to climate change. Harvesting peat also disrupts fragile ecosystems, releasing stored carbon and impacting biodiversity. Additionally, peat extraction can result in land degradation and water pollution.


Is the first and most immature form of coal is peat?

No, while peat can be used a fuel, it is in the same class a wood it is not a fossil fuel. The form of coal that has undergone the least diagenesis (and is still a fossil fuel) is called "Lignite".


Why is peat moss renewable?

First of all it is very easy to get confused with the terms peat and peat moss. They are actually two different entities both found in peat bogs. Peat is the sediment found at the bottom of peat bogs that is mined and burned like a fossil fuel (peat is actually a precursor of coal). Like coal it is considered to be a non-renewable fuel source since it takes so long to accrete (a rate of 1mm per year). Peat moss, on the other hand, is a living plant (such as Sphagnum) that lives at the top of a peat bog. Peat Moss is what is harvested and used to make the soil products you will find at plant stores. It eventually dies and adds to the layers of peat underneath. Unlike peat, peat moss is a renewable resource as much as timber is a renewable resource. When peat moss is harvested from the top of a peat bog, it can take as long as 20 years to grow back to its former size. Because of that peat moss is harvested on a slow cycle similar to forest management cycles and is done leaving the underlying peat undisturbed. Although peat and peat moss are found in the same bogs, they are not normally harvested and mined together. This is because peat is harvested and used as a fuel source in places such as far northern Europe where trees (and wood for burning) is scarce. On the other hand Canada is the primary supplier of peat moss. It has a large boreal forest and no consumer demand for peat as a fuel source.
