It’s World Soil Day today. The day highlights sustainable soil and water management and their importance to agriculture and resilience. Peat moss is used extensively in the production of growing mediums, but it’s a very slowly renewing material not unlike fossil fuels. With cattail paludiculture, the stems and leaves of the versatile plant could be used in soil manufacturing to replace the peat moss.
