Our peat free compost has a higher nutrient content than peat compost, and releases those nutrients slowly to nourish plants over a longer period of time – without turning the soil acidic. Peat free compost also retains moisture well, helping your plants thrive during the hotter months. For plants that are in need of good drainage throughout winter, simply add some grit and sharp sand to the compost to create the ideal balance between drainage and water retention. Peat composts are typically only suggested for use in conjunction with specialist plants whereas our peat free compost is ideal for general garden. To create a rich potting mix, use equal parts compost to soil when preparing your growing medium. This product can also be used as mulch by adding a layer on top of existing soil where you have plants, shrugs and trees growing, encouraging growth while insulating the roots of vulnerable plants that could otherwise be damaged by frost. Amongst the many benefits of peat free compost, it is natural and environmentally friendly thanks to its production not requiring the unsustainable removal of peat bogs, which disrupts wildlife habitats. Using our peat free compost is the perfect way for you to do your bit for the environment and your garden is sure to thank you. Key features Packed with nutrients for to encourage plant development.
