SuperMoss (23825) Mountain Moss Dried, Natural, 5lb Small Bale

I have a raised bed garden, and I purchased 2 bales last season. Between one thing and another, I didn't get a chance to use them until recently. I broke them up into my poly garden cart and covered them with water. I was amazed at the rate of expansion. I used them as mulch on the potatoes, honeysuckle, and an assortment of other beds. It worked very well, so I ordered another 6 bales.In reading other reviews, I noticed that some mentioned a strange odor, but I haven't noticed any offensive odors. It just smells like wet moss. I didn't notice any mud or anything when I soaked it, just moss debris. The size of the bales works well for me. They are small enough I can handle them by myself.I will be using this on the tomatoes, peppers, onions, grapes, cherry trees and josta berries as a mulch.

So I thought I wanted the best moss & this company has it also! But when I looked at the prices by weight? I was like wow I get 5lb for $11 with Amazon Prime Delivery, I had to try it! & it blew my mind, Of course I had to wash it thoroughly because it is mountain moss & it smelled like it was harvested from the mountains! I put what I needed in 5gallon bucket full of water & dunked it up & down! I then used it for Moss Poles since I realized moss poles take an incredible amount of moss to even make one & would cost me a fortune with the more expensive route that the way cheaper one which is 1/4th the price!!!

Great quality of product, great size for the price. I will be using the product for my daughter Three Rex birthday party decor . It already looks amazing 😊

I order sphagnum moss all the time, and this has been by far the lowest quality moss I've received. There is SO MUCH DIRT in this moss. Most of the weight of the package was just silt and clay. I use the moss for selling invertebrates at expos and online. The moss looks so soiled, despite rinsing and wringing out several times with fresh water, and I will not be able to use this moss to display my animals to customers. If I hadn't rehydrated most of the package, I would return it. If you are relying on the appearance of your moss, look at other listings

Id recommend having another container ready for storage of this product.It's got a nice natural color & no odor.

I used the mountain moss for a moss pole. Needless to say that plant will stay on the patio for a long while until it smells a lot better. The moss worked well going inside the PVC pipe I used, but before putting the moss in the PVC pipe I had to let the moss soak it in water a bit to loosen it. Here's where t gets weird...As I was putting the moss in the water I noticed there was a lot more dirt than moss it the bag it came in . Then I came inside from the garage where I had my stuff set up to work on and my husband proceeded to enter the garage. After about 10 minutes he came in the house and ask me, " Can you please tell me what stinks so bad in the garage?" I said no and returned to finish my project. When I open the garage door a smell that smelt like dead fish hit me in the face like a ton of bricks and in getting closer to the soaking moss I could tell where the smell was coming from. THE MOSS!Now I don't claim to be a person that knows a lot but I can say any time I have ever bought sphagnum moss at any place even Amazon, it never smelt like this stuff infact it never had a smell at all. Nor did it have dirt in it. Don't know if I can return it either especially after you wet it. I used it and I do have to say it worked real well. But I really can't say if I'll use it again. I do know I won't buy it again. Maybe I'll call Amazon and see what they say to do.UPDATEI spoke with Amazon, and they were very helpful. I am sending all of what I didn't use back and getting something different. Thank you, Amazon.

Great product, clean and well packaged. I would definitely buy it again.

Would definitely buy again! A+ used it to hide pots for my indoor garden.
