Subject: Sphagnum for Soil

Has anyone ever heard about using pure long-fibered Sphagnum, with nothing
else added as a medium for CP's? I recently visited a bog where I saw CP's
growing wild, and there was no sand, no perlite and certainly no lava rock.
It was composed of layer upon layer of Sphagnum. I brought back some larches
which I intend to use for bonsai and saved the Sphagnum which had live tips
growing on the top. For recipes that call for Live Sphagnum, should I use
dead stuff also that the live stuff is growing on?
