I think the acidity of peat bogs is about a pH of 3 or 4 ... don't quote me though.

>Bog water typically has a pH range of 3.3 - 5.5, and transitional bog waters have a pH in the range of 4.5 - 6.0. Numerous studies at Sifton Bog have shown the pH to be quite variable and infrequently less than 4.5.

What you get if you google the PH of Peat bogs, specifically from a website called Thames river :D
