I filled mine with a 2:1 mix of multipurpose compost and topsoil

Welcome to the vine Ralf. You are asking about peat which a lot of viners are against using (apologies if I am talking out the back of my head - we are talking peat here aren't we? or is peatmoss something different?)
I see you are in Ireland, is there ready access then to peat(moss) and is its garden usage common. Apologies for the nosiness!!
Personally I would also mix it with something else like Hampsterqueen says. Would it not be exhausted quickly if it is peat?
Hopefully, somebody else will put you right. Sanjo

Broccoli take up an awful lot of room!

Peat moss on it's own will be far too acidic for normal veggies and is devoid of nutrients. Ok for blueberries though!
