Might I suggest you go for a smaller bit of peat? You can buy tiny incense sods that will give you the smell but not use a large amount of product (www.turfpeat.com is where I get mine).

I would think that it's the full-scale use of the peat for industry or heating rather than the occasional use of a turf or two that is going to do the most depletion.

Thanks Cathy Jo! I will try that site. I do like the smell (oddly enough when I was in Ireland I didn't like the smell so much but the area I was in had a very strong consentration of it I think...or maybe my sense of smell has altered).

haha that's ok about the spelling. I love the song, that's great :-) Also like the Raglan Road version you have, that's such a sweet song.
As far as peat goes, it looks like I might just have to burn the insense every now and then to get my fix. Ah well :-P
