Professional growing media in ornamental horticulture are specialised substrate blends designed for optimal plant growth, often used in controlled environments like nurseries. This year we chose to only test peat-free compost. From 2024, you will only be able to buy peat-free compost in garden centres and DIY stores when the government introduces a ban on peat composts. We firmly believe you can get great results from peat-free composts and we haven't used peat in our own trials for many years. We have also included Moorland Gold composts which use peat recovered from lakes and dams after being naturally washed from peat heathland by rainwater.Specific-use composts tend to be more expensive than multipurpose composts, but in some cases it's worth paying a little more. Many people no longer want to buy peat compost as it's believed to damage the environment and add considerably to global warming. However, peat composts are still the most widely available composts in garden centres and are preferred by many gardeners.
