Melcourt to launch peat-free compost for gardeners
Melcourt, best known for their bark-based mulches and growing media, are re-entering the retail market this year with a peat-free compost targeting keen gardeners.
The product, to be called Sylvagrow, is based on the company’s acclaimed Sylvamix professional compost and will be launched at Glee this month. A 50-litre bag will have an SRP of £5.99.
Catherine Dawson, technical director at the Gloucestershire company, told an audience of gardeners at a nursery open day that they would niot be taking on Westland or Scotts. “But we think this is what retail nurseries are looking for,” she said. “The retail market badly needs a quality peat-free alternative for the keener gardener."
