The future of peat-free starts with Durstons

 

Durston Garden Products are fully committed to a peat-free future and encourage retailers to act now, ensuring they offer a peat-free range that delivers outstanding results and guarantees customer satisfaction.

 

Recent figures from market research experts GfK highlight the rising interest in peat-free products, with predictions that demand is set to increase further. Although there has been a delay in implementing the market-wide ban, the shift towards a peat-free industry is inevitable. In response, Durstons is leading the way with a new range that sets a new standard for peat-free excellence.

 

Durstons’ exciting new peat-free collection has consistently outperformed not only competitor products in independent growing trials but also professional-grade mixes and even traditional peat products, reporting up to 70% more plant growth by comparison. This achievement is the result of extensive research and development, ensuring the product consistently delivers superior results.

 

The brand-new peat-free range from Durstons features two revolutionary ingredients, Gro Fibre and Gro Boost, both of which are exclusive to the brand. Gro Fibre incorporates a cutting edge wood fibre facilitated by a major investment in a new processing plant installed at one of Durstons factory sites and is recognised as the most consistent on the market today.

 

Using a single species of tree and a patented thermodynamic refining process, Gro Fibre enhances water retention, air circulation, and provides an ideal environment for root growth. Complementing this is Gro Boost, a 100% natural, renewable, and vegan-friendly substrate that enhances natural goodness and supports beneficial microbes.
