If this is not beating a dead horse, it may be worth mentioning that
[dry] sphagnum was widely used in WW I as a sterile surgical dressing.
Whole sphagnum moss and sphagnum peat is not a friendly substate for most
opportunisitic bacteria and fungi.

I'd tend to endorse the leaching methods, assuming that some effort is
made to keep the system aerobic.
