Can I use Canadian peat moss to stop weeds in flower beds?

I don%26#039;t want to use mulch because it%26#039;s more expensive and I don%26#039;t want to pay for delivery cost either. Canadian peat moss is much cheaper and I can bring it home myself with a car.

There are at least two significant problems with the use of peat moss as a mulch.





1) It%26#039;s so fine and light weight that it will likely blow away in any kind of wind.





2) Peat moss, when it drys out, is very difficult to wet-out again. In its dry state, it sheds water. This will make it very difficult for your plant%26#039;s roots to receive proper watering.
