I believe in giving folk choice and nothing is ever black & white etc.
However, ALL amateur gardeners MUST stop using #peat-based composts this year. There is NO reason not to. And all general garden centres must switch to #peatfree composts. Really is that straightforward.
There are so many amazing peat free alternatives for compost - and your plants grow just as well. Please buy peat free compost if you're gardening this weekend! 🌿
Disappointed to see 100% peat compost being sold at @KeelhamFarmShop#Skipton. Harvesting peat for compost is not "environmentally friendly" regardless of whether you take it from a SSSI or not. Please do not stock/buy peat compost - there are #peatfree alternatives.

It's great to see @DefraGovUK's recruitment for the Chair of the Office for Environmental Protection go live.
This critical role will lead the new OEP as they
- report on environmental progress
- provide independent scrutiny
- lead us towards a #GreenRecovery
Please share 🌱
