A deeper dive into Durstons’ showstopping peat-free range

Durston Garden Products14/02/2025

Doubling down on its commitment to a peat-free future, Durston Garden Products Ltd has spent years innovating to create a game-changing peat-free range that delivers outstanding results and guarantees customer satisfaction.


The new collection is setting a new standard for peat-free excellence, as it has consistently outperformed not only competitor products in independent growing trials but also professional-grade mixes and even traditional peat products. Let’s take a deep dive into the product portfolio…
The brand-new range features two revolutionary ingredients – Gro Fibre and Gro Boost – both of which are exclusive to the brand. Gro Fibre is a cutting-edge wood fibre, recognised as the most consistent on the market today. Using a single species of tree and a patented thermodynamic refining process, Gro Fibre enhances water retention, air circulation, and provides an ideal environment for root growth.
Complementing this is Gro Boost, a 100% natural, renewable, and vegan-friendly ingredient that enhances organic matter, nutrients and beneficial microbes.
MULTI-PURPOSE COMPOSTS
Durstons have added a complimentary fertiliser package that provides 14 vital plant nutrients for abundant, healthy growth. The incorporation of Gro Fibre also ensures optimal moisture control without Nitrogen lock-up.
