What advantages are there to using Peat-Free compost?
So far in England, more than 90% of the peat bogs have been destroyed due to the extraction of peat for products such as peat-based compost.
Peat bogs are very sensitive habitats, providing a home for a large variety of life forms. By continuing to use dried peat, many compost and soil conditioning product manufacturers are having devastating effects on the remaining bogs and so on the environment itself.
Peat allows the products in which it is used to enrich treated soils and increase their capacity to retain moisture. Mr Crapper’s compost provides exactly the same benefits, without having a detrimental effect on the environment.
