It depends on the depth of the peat. One method is to dig out the peat to reach solid ground. Should this be impractical, another method is to drive pillars down to reach firm ground, in several areas of the foundation's footprint. A concrete raft is laid, incorporating the top foot or more of the pillars, and the building is built on top of the raft.
Peat occurs in former bogs and swamps. Ireland is famous for its peat.
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.
peat soil is soil containing a large amount of peat, it is rich in humus and gives an acid reaction
Peat is important because people dig peat out of the ground to use it for heating their homes and cooking good food. Although peat produces a lot of smoke and pollutants when you burn it, it is also very helpful. Peat is found in Russia Ukraine, and Great Britain. Peat is used all around the world, in fact. Peat is the first stage in coal formation. If peat did not was not real, then there would be no coal. That is why peat is important.

You can if you want to, but it isn't necessary. It is better to either leave them, or dig and transplant in the autumn. If you do want to store the bulbs, pack them in damp peat moss in an airy mesh bag and keep in a cool place.
Peat or Peat Moss = kavúl (כבול)
No, peat moss is a growing, living plant, when peat moss dies and given the right conditions it will eventually become peat.
