The ultimate peat-free solution - years in the making
Durstons has spent years perfecting a peat-free formula that not only rivals but outperforms traditional peat-based composts. Unlike some brands that have rushed to release peat-free alternatives just to tick the sustainability box, Durstons refused to launch their range until they knew it was efficacious.
The company has invested in R&D, peat-free technical expertise, conducted trials, tests, and refinements to ensure their peat-free compost delivers exceptional plant growth consistently. Independent trials have shown up to 70% more plant growth compared to professional peat mixes and other products on the market, making this the go-to choice for green-fingered enthusiasts who want bigger blooms, healthier plants, and a greener future.
Why choose peat-free?
Multiple reports, industry bodies and government legislation are leading the shift to peat-free, and although a full ban on peat has been delayed, a complete move to peat-free growing media is inevitable. Durstons is proud to lead the charge with a premium peat-free range that guarantees exceptional plant growth and superior performance.
What makes Durstons’ peat-free range revolutionary?
At the heart of this pioneering collection are two revolutionary ingredients - Gro Fibre and Gro Boost, both exclusive to Durstons and developed to deliver unbeatable results.
Gro Fibre: A cutting-edge wood fibre, sourced from a single species of tree and refined using a patented thermodynamic process. It enhances water retention, boosts air circulation, and provides the perfect structure for healthy root development.
Gro Boost: A 100% natural, renewable, and vegan-friendly ingredient that enriches compost with essential nutrients and beneficial soil microbes.
