Hort Shorts | RocketGro

Somerset-based compost manufacturer RocketGro tell us how being peat-free was a choice they made at the very beginning, in the first episode of the Peat-free Partnership's Hort Shorts.

Established in 2020, RocketGro are based in North Somerset and offer a range of products from compost to liquid plant feed. Their peat-free compost is produced in part using the by-product of Anaerobic Digestion, producing biogas which is sold to the grid and digestate which forms the base ingredient of their compost range.

Peat-free since the very start, Toby tells us how RocketGro benefit from the growing understanding of the ecological destruction wrought by peat mining. With the horticulture industry uniting over a common purpose to produce quality products and secure a prosperous future, the message is clear: it’s time to end peat sales.
