Our Green Compost contains no freshly harvested peat. This recycled growing media represents a sustainable solution for cultivating plants while minimising environmental impact. By ensuring that no new peat has been harvested, these substrates alleviate pressure on sensitive peatland ecosystems, crucial for carbon sequestration and biodiversity preservation. Instead, recycled growing media often incorporate composted plant material, diverting organic waste from landfills and harnessing its nutrient-rich properties. This environmentally conscious approach not only mitigates waste but also enriches the growing medium with essential nutrients, fostering healthier plant growth and reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers.

Through composting, organic matter undergoes natural decomposition, releasing valuable nutrients back into the soil, creating a closed-loop system that promotes sustainability. Furthermore, utilising recycled materials reduces the demand for virgin resources, conserving energy and minimising greenhouse gas emissions associated with production and transportation. Embracing recycled growing media underscores a commitment to responsible stewardship of the environment, offering a viable alternative for horticultural practices that prioritise ecological integrity and long-term viability.
