Why BMI Is a Crock, in Pictures. So, the Guess The Rotund's Height and Weight game gave me an idea. (Oh, and hey, if you want to see a scatter graph of the results, there's one here now.) I talk a lot about how BMI is bullshit, but we all know talk is cheap.
As suggested in the above links (Thanks! ShellaB, for posting those links -- The first one was especially useful.), you can use monofilament plastic fish line to tie the fern to the basket, if needed. I stuffed my staghorn's basket with a combination of leaf litter, spaghnum, and Spanish Moss.
Spongy brown peat moss is a well-known gardening and farming material used to amend soil. With its increased water retention and nutrient properties, adding soil peat moss has many benefits, but it should not be used in balanced or acidic soil or for plants that prefer an alkaline environment.hen mixed into a soil mixture as an amendment, peat moss is a viable source of organic matter. An acidic additive to the soil, peat moss is best used to reduce the potential of hydrogen (pH) of an alkaline soil environment. Plants which thrive in an acidic soil can benefit from soil with peat moss.
