Making Sense of Peat Free

Loving Your Garden - Better Gardening Podcast

Send us a text

There's been a noticeable increase in discussions on the LYG Facebook site about the forthcoming ban on the use of peat products in UK gardens, due to be enforced from the end of next year. To help us make sense of it all, our guests this week are Jonathan Whittemore from Johnsons of Whixley, a Yorkshire-based plant wholesaler, and Ruth Goudy, garden writer and owner of Kiln Farm Nursery and Garden Centre in Suffolk. Jonathan also chairs the Ornamental Management Committee of the Horticultural Trade Association and has played an active part in the RHS peat-free trials. Ruth is a long-time supporter of reducing peat and wants to help her customers and wider audiences to appreciate, not just the why, but the how to use peat-free compost.
You'll be hard-pushed to find a more informed discussion about something that will most certainly have an impact on our gardening and I thoroughly recommend listening through the whole podcast. If you're listening from outside the UK, please don't discount its relevance, as this is an area that is sure to be globally pertinent within a few years.
