peat moss versus peat humus

What is the difference between the two. I used peat humus to enrich my soil but I want one of these to use as a top dressing. Which one is best.

Hi Catherine, Humus is the final product of the decomposing peat. There will be fewer twigs and stuff in it. I may suggest that neither will make a satisfactory topdressing as the peat doesn't actually have anything of nutritional value for your plants, and will most likely dry up and blow away.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau
