     i'd leave it where it is and add a few bags of topsoil   
   to it.  peat moss is ok as a partial amendment but 1/2 is   
   too much.  with the type of subsoil and conditions you   
   have there i don't think it will hurt anything to leave   
   it alone, plus some things may grow well in there.   
      
     good luck.   
      
     gotta get outside while i can and hopefully finish up   
   the garden i'm weeding - going to get hot later.
