Peat Moss for Mulch?

[stonedwoodsman]

Hi Group,
I was out raking my yard & gardens yesterday, and noticed that I need new Mulch around bushes & plants.
I'm 'between jobs' at the moment, so if I don't Have to buy something, I' rather not.
I was given about 10 bags of Peat Moss from a friend.
Couldn't I use that as Mulch, as opposed to Buying the colored stuff?
Would there be anything negative about using Peat Moss as garden mulch around plants?
Also, couldn't I mix this into potting soil & dirt, for containers, for my Weed crop?
And lastly, what is Epsom Salt used for when one puts it into soil?
(How much would I use for container gardening, in say 3 to 5 gallon pots/containers for the ole' Herb crop)?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
