right ,on the peat controvercy thing,i used to work on a peat farm,firstly 99% of 'compost' you buy for gardens is actually peat that has had additives added to it like NPK,its baged and tagged as grow bags garden compost ,potting compost etc all your comercial tomato's and salad crops are grown in it even if marked as organic as then they just use peat and add organic manures like chicken manure etc.secondly the aread dug become wetland habitats for all maner of wildlife from fish,anphibians,birds etc infact many conservation areas in somerset were peat pits,thirdly what isnt dug drains better and is then a good habitat for other fauna like deer etc and the land can be efectively farmed to grow crops or for pasturage,the vast quantities of peat on the somerset levels alone would last hundreds if not thousands of years.incidentally we found a 6000 year old body once.
