I have one question. Is it 15 ha at a certain height? I ask this because there will be white peat on top, then brown peat and finally black peat be reached. In some bogs, it could be 1 m down and in others it could be 2 m down. It works, however. What I am trying to put together is whether one bit will work for horticulture and the other bit will suit the mushroom growers?
