A game-changing new peat-free range from Durston Garden Products is guaranteed to pique buyers’ interest this year, as products swept the board in growing trials.
The remarkable new collection outperformed both peat and peat-free products from competitor products in independent growing trials, thanks to a unique formulation using Gro Boost and Gro Fibre – revolutionary additives that are exclusive to Durstons in the UK. The peat-free composts are further enhanced by a complimentary nutrient package that provides 14 vital nutrients and 3-4 month feed.
Stand-out products include the brand-new peat-free Multi-Purpose Compost, which achieved over 70% bigger plants than a professional peat-reduced product on the market and increased blooms by 50%
Another high achiever was the Tub & Basket Compost, which achieved over 150% bigger plants than a professional peat-reduced product and increased blooms by 50%.
Made from a single species of pine and refined thermodynamically, Durstons’ new unique ingredient Gro Fibre is the most consistent wood fibre available. When added to the blend, it creates compost with a fluffy texture, that doesn’t suffer from shrinkage, and delivers a reliably impressive performance, year in, year out. Gro Fibre supports moisture retention and doesn’t lock nutrients, like some other peat-free growing media in the industry.
Meanwhile, Gro Boost is made from high quality composted materials, is 100% natural, renewable and vegan friendly. Unique to Durstons and produced locally at their site to ensure consistency, Gro Boost benefits from:
- strong water retention capabilities
- a beneficial microbiological profile
- key nutrients
The new peat-free range includes a Multi-Purpose Compost in three sizes (40 litre, 20 litre, and 10 litre), Multi-Purpose with added John Innes, Organic Multi-Purpose Compost, Ericaceous Compost, and Rose, Tree & Shrub in a 40-litre bag, plus grow bags in various sizes. The formulation has also been rolled out to Durstons’ popular affordable Manor Farm Peat-Free Multi-Purpose Compost.
Durstons Director, Dan Durston said: “We are delighted to bring to market a truly comprehensive peat-free offer, with a formulation that really works. The composts are soft and nice to handle, don’t lock-up any Nitrogen and each mix is incredibly repeatable. It’s a winning combination, which we can’t wait for retailers to get their hands on.
“We kept this range a closely-guarded secret for a while but now, at Glee, it’s time to really shout about it because we are so proud of the products and extremely confident in their ability to perform consistently.”
