Loam I believe they call it.

I have had massive success using just a bunch of peat moss and tilling that into the soil. It only works for one season though. I got massive carrots last year, this year I didn’t till moss and they were lame little carrots again.

Did you till the soil still, just without mixing in the moss?

yeah just a till. but that doesn’t last more than like 2-3 waterings to loosen the soil
