ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Peat reconstituted by extruding and cutting to produce a cohesive, moldable mass that is smooth in texture and having a specific gravity slightly greater than 1. A method of producing the reconstituted past is also described. The method comprises removing sticks and other relatively large contaminants from peat moss dug from a peat bog and cutting and extruding the product to produce the reconstituted peat. An apparatus suitable for producing the reconstituted peat moss comprises an auger having an inlet end and an outlet end. Means to feed the peat moss to the auger at the inlet end. A first extrusion plate positioned at the outlet end. A cutter abutting the extrusion plate so that the peat moss is cut as it leaves the first extrusion plate. A blade on the second side of the cutter, remote from the first extrusion plate. A second extrusion plate abuts the blades on the second side of the cutter plate. As the peat moss enters the second extrusion plate, it is cut by the second cutter. - i -
