ecofective® Organic Superfood Ideal for Peat Free Compost Wins Sword of Excellence
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

It was a night to remember at the GIMA awards for Sipcam Home and Garden as ecofective® Organic Superfood Ideal for Peat-Free Compost took the headlines, winning two awards. This included the prestigious Sword of Excellence for best overall product.

 

Sipcam also picked up an award for best product in the ‘Garden Care’ category for Organic Superfood Ideal for Peat-Free Compost with the judges highlighting how the product had delivered a solution to help get great results with peat-free growing.

Since the launch of ecofective® Organic Superfood Ideal for Peat-Free Compost in 2022, Sipcam Home and Garden have been working towards accelerating the popularity of peat-free gardening by giving consumers the confidence in their peat-free gardening projects. The product’s idea was also commended at Glee 2022, where it also won an award for best product in the ‘Growing Materials’ category at the New Product Showcase awards, alongside its sister product Organic Superfood for All Plants.

 

A solution for Peat-Free projects

In recent years it has been a concern for gardeners that peat-free compost lessens results, however when using Organic Superfood as a partner feed this could not be further from the truth. ecofective® Organic Superfood Ideal for Peat-Free Compost (RRP £7.99) contains a complete package of nutrients to help plants flourish in peat-free compost. Plants require the basic nutrients of Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium (NPK), to enable great growth. Due to the ecofective® organic NPK and many other properties, it helps promote bigger and healthier plants. 

 

‘The single biggest issue that we face as an industry is the move to peat-free compost and this helps to address this challenge. It's also well-presented and has great commercial opportunities’.
