Be the change…

For many years, peat-based composts have been used for an array of gardening needs. Due to concerns about damage to the environment, many gardeners are now considering peat-free & peat-reduced alternatives.

We are in support of this and therefore supply a variety of peat-free and reduced-peat composts. These contain a mixture of organic materials (composted bark, coir, wood fibre, green compost) along with inorganic materials (grit, sand, rockwool and perlite). A mix of coarse and fine materials is needed to create a balanced compost containing enough water and air required for root growth.

We use reduced peat compost for all of our home grown plants. We are looking at going completely peat free as soon as we can.

We are aware of the importance of existing peat bogs for the future of the environment. We also realise how important it is for us to provide customers with the information and choices they need to transition to more environmentally friendly behaviours.
