DAKOTA Peat Has Been Used On Golf Course Greens And Stadium Turf For More Than 40 Years
DAKOTA Peat Is HIGHLY Unique
DAKOTA Peat is MATERIALLY different from any other "peat" you may have used before. DAKOTA Peat is a highly decomposed organic matter resulting from when the glacial lake named Lake Agassiz retreated around 10,000 years ago from what is now North Dakota and Minnesota.
Lake Agassiz left behind a layer of nutrient-rich fine silt which has been a great benefit to Red River Valley farmers for centuries. The rich organic deposit is primarily made up of decomposed reeds and sedges, which separates it from inferior peat derived from sphagnum and hypnum moss.

Natural source of Humic & Fulvic Acids and broad-spectrum soil microbial life
Why DAKOTA Peat?
DAKOTA Peat is a highly concentrated organic material ideal for soil conditioning and growing (indoor or out). DAKOTA Peat is a rare "reed-sedge" humate that is unlike any other organic material. It is selected from our proprietary deposits and carefully processed to maintain its excellent, agronomic horticultural attributes.
A unique cellular structure resists further decomposition, allowing the blend to last longer in soil, and provides successful growth through exceptionally high plant-feeding abilities. These are essential for development of the plant’s root system as well as air and water balance, making DAKOTA Peat an ideal soil conditioner and growing medium for plants of all types in a variety of applications.
With DAKOTA - LESS is MORE
Use Less Water. Use Less Fertilizer. Enjoy MORE Healthy Growth!
Maintain plants and turf with less water using DAKOTA Peat. DAKOTA Peat acts a natural insulator against evaporation, reducing heat stress and field loss through its unique hydrophilic characteristics.
Additionally, the heavy-duty organic soil conditioner improves soil biology and increases nutrient uptake - enhancing the plant feeding abilities and water relationship, which in turn also reduces fertilization and irrigation needs.
Easy to Apply. Long Lasting Results.
How To Use:
-
For established plants lightly aerate soil and blend in DAKOTA Peat evenly across the top 1-2 inches of soil.
-
For new plants blend Dakota Peat evenly in your potting soil at a 20/80 to 50/50 ratio. Plant and water as normal.
-
For best results water or foliar spray with Organic REV every 2-4 weeks.

Organic matter vs. organic debris
The secret to DAKOTA's success lies in the distinction between "Organic Matter" and "Organic Debris". We all know that it is important to add organic material to our soils to keep them healthy and nutrient-rich. That said, all organic materials are not equal and some can produce unwanted results.
Soil organic matter is the well-decomposed, more or less stable portion of plant and/or animal residues in a mineral soil. Often referred to as “humus”. Organic matter is often discussed in terms of its level of decomposition.
Less decomposed organic material, when incorporated into the soil, do not technically become part of the soil organic matter until they are broken down into a stable form of humus. It is simply organic “debris” until such decomposition occurs - and organic debris actually pulls microbiology and nutrients away from the plant to aid with decompositions.
Composts and mulches are commonly marketed as organic matter (often for the intent to use as a soil amendment) but, in most cases, they are not yet broken down to a level usable by a plant. This means that your compost may actually be competing with your plants for the soil's available nutrient.
DAKOTA Peat is true Organic Matter. Dakota is fully decomposed and the carbon is 100% bioavailable.
Organic Debris
-
Not well-decomposed
-
High C:N ratio, which causes a competition for nutrients
-
Prone to cause fungal diseases like fairy ring
-
Causes disruption in soil structure as it decomposes
Organic Matter
-
Well-decomposed
-
Low C:N ratio – nitrogen is readily available to microbes
-
Doesn’t promote fungal disease
-
Hydrophilic - retains moisture
