There's a huge push to go peat-free, and I agree 95%.
There are just a few uses for peat that don't have an alternative. I mention this to fellow gardeners because if you go 100% peat-free, you'll end up with an expensive disaster and, out of frustration, may go back to peat entirely.
I think it's not productive to ignore the small corner cases where peat is almost a requirement.
