Well, all Lowe's had was the Miracle-Gro peat. I got the Scott's at H.D. as that was the only other choice I had without a roadtrip to another city. The canadian stuff Lowe's have here is all LFS, not sphagnum peat. And only in bales so large I couldn't store them! So I guess for a little while I'm stuck.
Let's call this the great experiment (homage to Jim!). I'll post updates on my plants. We'll see if Scott's has improved over the last few years, or if it's still rotten. Perhaps my cutting it with the LFS will help. But we'll see if the Ping and Byblis seeds I've planted recently germinate at all... And how well or poorly the others are doing.
For reference sake, all my plants (except for the seeds) were Lowe's/Walmart rescues, or mailed from Jimscott. They were all alive, though their conditions varied from excellent (Jim's plants) to poor (walmart). They are 'tray water' method, and under artificial lights. I use only distilled, RO, or rainwater. The ones I've had longest were purchased in May. Those have generally improved in condition from the time of purchase. My Lowe's ping even bloomed recently.
