Potting composts are designed to be the best growing medium for plants. Peat has been used as a component because of its ability to retain water and nutrients. Nowadays, with more awareness of peat-bog depletion and peat as a limited resource, some gardeners are beginning  to use peat-free composts. 

Defra (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) has confirmed that sales of bagged peat composts  and some peat-containing products will be banned from shelves in 2027, but others will be exempt from a ban until 2030.

We stock both peat based and peat free composts which will fulfil all your gardening requirements at very competitive prices, chose in 2024 how you want to plant.
