Does Peat lose it's heat giving potential with time ?

    My brother told me that Peat (turf) which is left in a shed for a few years loses a lot of its heat giving potential.

    He reckons new peat is better.

    I fail to see how my brothers assertion is true.

    Anyone know if/how old peat loses it's calorific value ?

    My personal experience is that providing it's stored in a shed with some air movement, sod turf improves with age, like seasoned timber, it certainly equalises out in moisture content and probably looses another few % over and above what it lost on the bog.
