>The professional horticulture industry will be exempt for now
Literally one law for us and another for them though
Its still fine for billionaires to do 10 min domestic flights in their private jets though. When will a government finally have the balls to crack down on that shit?
Gd, plenty of peat free available for the same price from most gd garden centres.
Switched to peat free years ago, what might help even just for the next two years is clear labeling. Some product packaging is so poorly described possibly deliberately, you can’t be sure if it contains peat at all.
Sadly a LOT of peat free compost is utter shit. It’s more like bark chippings, and often filled with sticks and large lumps of other crap. But I think it’s actually mostly coconut fibre. Which raises the question,where the hell are they getting all that coir from? Presumably they’re shipping it from the other side of the world, which isn’t very eco friendly.
Good, frankly. Peat is unsustainable, we’ve always avoided buying it. Peat-free compost is practically as good and much more environmentally friendly.
It’s long overdue
Yay seid no one, so now I have to get the bags that’s like someone’s wheelie bin contents was put through a chipper
Gonna stock up on some proper compost
History teaches us a very important lesson,
in some cases several million lessons, regarding governments thinking they know more about farming than farmers.

This should have been done years ago.

Should have banned it years ago.
