60% of the peat is still used as power station fuel, so till that stops I
will carry on recycling peat.

Yes; it can be (and is) filtered out of water supplies, dried and re-used.

How do you set about the recycling? I presume you add fertiliser and
possibly lime if you want to make recycled potting compost. How much of
what do you add?

Well as far as I am concerned, if the peat returns to the ground and ferns
and heathers grow from it then I consider it to have been recycled, which
you cant do when you have burned it.
