I dug a hole in the peat on the hill with the tractor bucket the other day, 1-2’ of black peat, then the most beautiful looking brown earth underneath, I wondered how long ago it was when that was the top soil, and what had changed for the peat to form, major climate shift or something?
Probably the remains of what grew there before. Organic peat soil is just that. Broken down organic matter.
