Peat Free Compost

Our compost is created on site using green waste in a windrow composting system. The compost is mature and has finished the decomposition cycle which means it is safe to use on your garden project.
The compost is peat free and is environmentaly friendly as it is from a sustainable source unlike peat compost which is obtained by the destruction of peat wetland areas that have taken thousands of years to form.

We have three types of compost:

Screened Compost
This has been passed through our screening process to create a fine compost that is ideal for uses such as seeding, turfing, turf top dressing, planting bed establishment and container gardening

"As Dug" Compost
This as it sounds comes straight from our compost windrow piles where it has completed its natural commposting process.
This contains larger pieces of woody fiberous matter and is more suited for weed suppression and decorative cover as it decomposes and stays in place longer than the finer grades.
"Farmyard" Compost
This peat free compost is based on farmyard manure that has been composted using the windrow process. This compost has not been mixed with any green garden waste. This is a very fine compost that can be provided "As Dug" or screened.
