Abstract
Bord na Móna (the Irish Peat Development Board) is the major producer of peat and peat-related products in Ireland. “Móna” comes from the Irish word “móin”, meaning peat or turf. Peat is a natural product of plant origin, comprised of decayed roots, stems, leaves and flowers, forming in layers for centuries. The vegetation of peat bogs absorbs and retains water and as the peat layers increase, contact with the mineral nutritional soil is sealed off.
