Harvesting peat was a very important part of Irish culture for generations as it was the primary source of fuel for both heating and cooking in the home. In this video we show the peats being cut and dried on the bog plus we give an explanation of what peat is. We show the peat, or turf as it also known, being used to heat a home in Ireland as well as using it to cook with.
