ABSTRACT:
Peat moss is palletized in bulk compressed form by holding a predetermined quantity of peat moss stacked vertically on a pallet to confine the peat moss to a desired, compressed shape, the peat moss having a water-content ranging from about 25 to about 50 weight % and a density ranging from about 0.05 to about 0.15 gm/cc on dry basis, and downwardly compressing the peat moss directly onto the pallet at a pressure ranging from about 3 to about 5 kg/cm.sup.2 so as to form the peat moss into a coherent, shape-retaining body without substantially altering the water-content and intrinsic properties of the peat moss. The body of compressed peat moss maintains a structural integrity for a period of time sufficient to permit wrapping thereof. Such a body of compressed peat moss is then wrapped to retain the peat moss in compressed form on the pallet. The invention enables one to significantly increase the quantity of peat moss per unit of shipment.
