Building a peat-free legacy at Melcourt

Описание: Founded in 1983, Melcourt are the leading supplier of peat-free growing media and mulches in the UK. Through extensive research, their aim has been to get high-quality peat-free products to customers across the country.

As the Peat-free Partnership continues to push for legislation to end the sale and supply of peat for horticulture in all four nations of the UK, we want to highlight organisations who have already made the switch.

In this series, industry professionals show off their peat-free success and combat common myths that surround growing without peat. Don’t let us tell you that peat-free horticulture is perfectly possible – hear it straight from the industry.

Having produced its first peat-free blend in 1990, the Sylvamix® range launched in 2001 for professional growers intending to grow peat-free. In 2014, this knowledge was offered to gardening public, the brand SylvaGrow® provides high-quality growing media for home gardeners. Now, it’s one of the most recognisable peat-free lines, with an endorsement by the RHS and a slate of recommendations in Which? Best Buys.

In the years since Melcourt first started offering peat-free growing media, our understanding of the environmental cost of peat extraction has only grown. With more on the market than ever before to support the transition to peat-free, it’s time to make the switch for good and support a greener future for horticulture.
