Suggest Bunnings, *&^%$* tho they may be. You will get it cheaper than smaller places.

I have no experience with either sphagnum or peat moss but there's quite a lot on Google and elsewhere about it being dangerous to health if not handled properly (the same goes for potting mixes too). This video explains something about it. Of course, there are lots who pooh pooh the idea of a health risk too.

Make sure you cut around the trunk and ringbark your tree first ;)
