woodchips in peat

[Ras]

is it bad if you dont remove the woodchips found inside peat bales

Should be fine, only thing I'd worry about is if you are using the peat for seedlings or something that might have trouble rooting around a piece on/near the surface.

good point. i most likely will end up using it for seeds at some point but at the moment I am just repotting vfts and sars. the new brand I tried this year has way more wood chips and small twigs than the one I used last year, was just hoping I could get away with using it anyways if I rinse it good. main concern was the wood rotting.

I dont remove wood etc from peat, I dont see any necessity for it unless as has been said it is for seeds, nor do I rinse it.
