difference between mulch and peat moss
The term mulch technically refers to any material used to cover the soil. This could be pebbles or gravel, plastic sheeting, shredded tires or organic mulch, such as compost (my No. 1 choice), pine needles, shredded bark or wood chips.

When you and I (and most gardeners) refer to mulch, we’re referring to shredded hardwood bark, so that’s how I’m using the term here.

Peat moss may have a place as a component of potting mix used in containers (mostly because it’s lightweight), but I wouldn’t recommend using it as a mulch. Here’s why:
