in-doors or out.

Environmental factors

Durston Garden Products is a company that takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously. For over fifteen years the company has worked hard to create its very own peat free product called Groboost which has proven to be extremely popular. The structure and composition of Groboost continues to be monitored and developed. Over time it has proven to be consistant in texture and quality and is created by mixing peat free ingredients together, then windrowing and turning it every week for ten weeks until an incredibly stable end product is achieved.

Recycling

Recycling is no exception either. The sacks for example into which Durstons compost is packaged are totally 100% recyclable and in an effort to promote and spread the word regarding sustainable use of plastic, Durstons has just undertaken a task of having this information printed onto its corex header-boards. This is so that consumers can benefit from knowing that when purchasing a Durston product that they too are doing their bit for the environment.

To summarise, Durstons really is a great British success story that Retailers who aren’t already doing business with, may want to consider switching to in the future.  Why, because it really is an extremely well rounded company that has so much to offer UK retailers:

• It’s easily accessible
• It offers an extensive range of top quality growing media products
• It’s a company of integrity 

It not only considers its place in the community but it also takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously; plus, it’s flexible in terms of order quantities and more importantly is competitively priced.

So a message to all you retailers out there, next time you go to place an order for compost,  don’t just automatically think of the big names that you’ve  always stuck with in the past,  think logistically, think quality, think British, think flexible, think price – THINK  Durston Garden Products because we will always SUPPLY what you DEMAND.
