Just a quick note re commercial sphagnum products. The sphag I usually buy
comes in plastic bags and isn't dry (just moist) - dried sphag is a pain to
use because is disintegrates easily (good for chopped sphag situations, though)
I've also seen sphag. pellets for sale which are dried and compressed - you
literally "just add water" to them. However, the amount of sphag you get for
your money is pretty small - better to use the ordinary long-fibre stuff...
