Heading to sunny Rymer Trees in Suffolk, we’re seeing more peat-free in practice. Producing 300,000 trees a year, Rymer Trees have grown without peat since their start and have established themselves as a quality nursery.

As the Peat-free Partnership continues to push for legislation to end the sale and supply of peat for horticulture in all four nations of the UK, we want to highlight organisations who have already made the switch.

In this series industry professionals show off their peat-free success and combat common myths that surround growing without peat. Don’t let us tell you that growing peat-free is perfectly possible – hear it straight from the industry.

Harry tells us how university optimism met the reality of running a commercial nursery – but growing peat-free was more straightforward. While using peat-free mixes, they’ve found that its free-draining qualities help them avoid common pests.

A strong call for legislation from Rymer Trees, who prove what you can do when growing without peat. Without it, we can’t eliminate peat from growing… and, as Harry says, the change should have happened yesterday.
