HOW WE CAN HELP WITH YOUR PEAT-FREE GARDENING PROJECTS

Gardening is not just about growing plants—it’s about nurturing the environment too. One simple yet impactful change every gardener can make is switching to peat-free compost. This small shift helps protect our planet while maintaining vibrant and healthy gardens.

WHY GO PEAT-FREE

Peat has been used in gardening for decades due to its excellent water retention and aeration properties. However, the environmental cost of extracting peat is far too high. Peatlands—often referred to as "carbon sinks"—store vast amounts of carbon, regulate water flow, and provide habitats for diverse wildlife. When peat is harvested for compost, these ecosystems are destroyed, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF PEAT-FREE COMPOST

Choosing peat-free compost means:

• Reducing Carbon Emissions: Peatlands store carbon, but extracting peat releases it back into the atmosphere. By choosing peat-free compost, you help mitigate climate change.

• Protecting Vital Ecosystems: Peatlands are home to unique wildlife and plants. Conserving them ensures biodiversity thrives.

• Preventing Habitat Destruction: Many endangered species, like certain birds and insects, rely on peatlands for survival. Switching to peat-free compost preserves their homes.

• Supporting Sustainable Gardening: Peat-free compost is made from renewable materials like wood fibre, coconut coir, and green waste, making it a more sustainable option.
