A method for producing dried lump peat, wherein peat is detached from a bog and formed into lumps, whereafter the lumps are arranged on the surface of the bog and allowed to dry. The lumps are comparatively large, substantially disc-shaped pieces (1), for instance slices of uniform thickness the sides of which have an elliptical shape, and these lumps are arranged on the bog surface (2) so that their central axes are horizontal. About 5% of the surface area of the lumps will thus be in contact with the bog surface and the rest serves as drying surface on which the sun and wind may act. The drying on the bog surface preferably constitutes an initial drying phase, followed by final drying in a storage heap. <IMAGE> |
