Your material is surprisingly pale, and I assume the "pebble" shape is
the result of pelletisation? See this image of yours for example:

Ah, well, the peat we have in the UK is also, generally, a
dark brown fibrous material.
What you see in my pictures is a top layer of pumice
pebbles, used to retain moisture/reduce evaporation.
Bit of a red herring perhaps, didn't intend to decieve
anyone!!!

All is now revealed. :-) Thank you.
