How you can make a difference?
You can help by buying peat-free compost for use in your own garden or allotment and encouraging retailers and the Government in their efforts to phase out the use of peat in gardening products.
This year, we have worked really hard to ensure all the plants for sale have been grown in peat free compost consisting of a mix of coco pith, wood fibres and wood bark. The plug plants will include a trace of natural lime and organically approved nitrogen fertiliser.
*There are 3 products not grown peat free: asparagus, sweet potato and Oca, which we source from other suppliers and unfortunately, we were not able to source suitable alternatives in time. Additionally, the sweet potatoes are grown in a 50% peat mix. We are seeking alternatives for the near future but having committed to the stock for this season, rather than remove them from the range we continue to make them available to you here, These products are displayed without the peat-free messaging to make this as clear as possible.
