Why avoid peat compost?
When peat is extracted from fragile peat bogs, stored carbon dioxide is released contributing to global warming and destroying biodiverse habitats. By not using peat moss based compost, gardeners contribute to the conservation of these precious ecosystems. Peat-free compost is rich in organic matter, improves soil structure, and promotes healthier plant growth.
