The effect of global peat extraction on wildlife habitats and the wider environment is a major concern. We fully support the efforts being made to find viable alternatives and are committed to selling sustainable alternatives in our store.
Our Peat-free Compost Range
We stock a range of peat-free alternatives alongside our peat products and actively encourage their use for general soil conditioning and mulching. Although trade prices are generally more expensive, we do not charge our customers more for non-peat potting composts. We state clearly the peat contents of all our products and train our staff to provide accurate advice so that our customers can make informed choices.
The UK government is aiming to put an end to the sale of peat by 2024.
