Figure 6.10. Accumulation of C in non-steady-state soils of a mature black spruce/moss forest in central Manitoba, Canada. Data shown are (A) for sphagnum moss that has accumulated since the site last burned (-100 yr before sampling), and (B) for the humus and charred layer below the regrowing moss and including the A horizon. The soil is developed on the sediments of a lake that dried up -7000 years ago. The parameters 7 = plant input (kgCuf2yr ) and k = decomposition constant (yr-1).

Fibric Organic Material. Least decomposed type, with lowest ash content and bulk density, highest saturated water content, the greatest amount of plant fiber, and a low pyrophosphate index. Three well-defined subtypes are the high acid, relatively undecomposed sphagnum moss peats, and the less acid hypnum moss peats, and the reed-sedge type peats.

It s a good idea to line the basket with porous material—you could use sphagnum moss or coconut fiber. 

Fill the container with a mixture of commercial potting soil, sphagnum moss, and vermiculite.

The water storage characteristics of several Minnesota peats in situ, as determined by Boelter (1964), were shown to vary markedly with peat type. Surface horizons of sphagnum moss peat had large pores and released about 80% of the water by volume at low suction (0.1 bar). In contrast, decomposed and herbaceous peats from horizons below 25 cm had small pores, although high porosity, and were not easily drained. They released only 25—35% water by volume under the same suction. These data emphasize that water table fluctuations in a peat profile do not in themselves indicate the quantity of water involved. Furthermore, peat types must be considered in drainage operations. 

Native vegetation. Swamp forests of spruce, tamarack, and arborvitae occur in the north, and various conifers, maple, elm, and ash farther south reed and sedge are found in marshes and sphagnum moss and heath are present in bogs.
