Default using nylon stockings to add peat to a tank without mess?

I've got a question...
Some folks I know have recomended that I put peat into an old nylon stocking
and drop it in my tank (or canister filter). This has been suggested as an
easy way to treat the water with peat without fillingt the tank with the
fine peat powder...

Has anyone tried anything like this? I don't want a ton of the fine dust
floating around in the tank, but I want to have peat in the tank..... I've
been pre-treating my water when I do water changes, and its a drag....

another suggestion was to charge a diatom filter with screened peat instead
of diatom powder, and just run it.......

thanks...
