Melcourt introduces SylvaGrow Seed Compost to award-winning range

 

At Melcourt, we’ve spent over 40 years perfecting sustainable, peat-free growing media that deliver outstanding results for both home gardeners and professional growers.

 

Now, we’re excited to introduce the latest addition to our award-winning SylvaGrow® range. SylvaGrow® Seed Compost is a high-performance, sustainable blend designed to provide the perfect start for a wide range of flower and vegetable seeds, cuttings, and young plants.

 

100% Peat-free excellence for strong, healthy growth SylvaGrow® Seed Compost is formulated with:

  • Fine bark and woodfibre: by-products of sustainably managed forests, enhancing aeration and root development;
  • Coir from known, sustainable sources: ensuring excellent moisture retention;
  • Balanced nutrients: sufficient for the first 3–4 weeks of growth;
  • Free-draining structure: ideal for seed sowing, pricking out, and cuttings.

RHS-endorsed and audited by the Responsible Sourcing Scheme, SylvaGrow® Seed Compost is available in easy-to- handle 15L and 40L packs.

 

Victoria Wright, Technical Lead and Technical Manager at Melcourt says, “With SylvaGrow® Seed Compost, we’re offering gardeners a high-performance, peat-free alternative that aligns with both sustainability goals and growing success. This new addition to our award-winning SylvaGrow® range underscores our commitment to environmentally responsible gardening.”

 

SylvaGrow® - a range you can trust

Endorsed by the RHS and regularly receiving Which? Best Buy recognition, our SylvaGrow® range highlights our commitment to horticultural excellence while protecting the planet. With solutions for every stage of plant growth, we’re committed to providing professional-grade, sustainable products that help growers transition to a peat-free future without compromising on quality.

 

SylvaGrow® Seed Compost is a testament to our dedication to delivering outstanding performance alongside environmental responsibility. We’re thrilled to share it with gardeners and professional growers who want to grow successfully while making sustainable choices.
