The peat adds organic matter to the soil, and increases water holding capabilities. This article will tell you more: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/peat-moss-information.htm [1]
You might dig up the soil a bit (1/2 – 1″) on the bare spots, then put down your moss, put a little soil on top of it, then water will, the purpose being to keep the peat from blowing away.
