Could anyone tell me what peat with a 70% moisture content would look

John

I found the answer and as no one in this group seems to know I will
explain.

You get completely dry peat and weigh it - say 100g.

You then add water and weigh it again. If it weights 150g it contains
50% water content. If it weights 170g it contains 70% moisture
content.

Simple!


Perhaps simple, but wrong. In your first example, if it weighed 200g,
it'd be at 50% water.
