It was a joy talking to Derek Murray about Scottish peat. My husband and I met Derek on our trip to Scotland years ago, and he’s been a great friend. Thankfully, he agreed to talk to me about his experiences with peat.
From cutting to drying, and finally to bringing it home, the progress of getting a lovely peat fire is complex.
Thank you for joining me in this journey!
