Melcourt, the UK’s peat-free pioneers, today announced that their SylvaGrow range has this year, been recognised four times by Which? Best Buy:
- SylvaGrow Multi-Purpose Compost – Patio Pots
- SylvaGrow Seed Compost – Young Plants
- SylvaGrow Tub & Basket Compost – Patio Pots
- SylvaGrow Multi-Purpose Compost – Young Plants
This means that the SylvaGrow range has received this independent recognition a total of 27 times since 2015, reaffirming the company’s commitment to responsibly-sourced, peat-free horticulture and consistent, highest-grade results.
Why recognition matters
Which? is the UK’s consumer champion, a not-for-profit organisation that tests thousands of products each year to help consumers make informed decisions. A Which? Best Buy is only awarded to products that meet high standards of quality and performance following rigorous testing.
“This new seed compost uses the same basic ingredients as its wood fibre, bark and coir composts, but has a finer texture. Our tests show it’s a great choice for both seeds and young plants. Young plants were better than those grown in a professional peat-based compost, with larger tomato plants and better-flowering snapdragons."
Recognition from Which? gives gardeners clear and independent reassurance that the product they’re choosing will perform to the high standards they expect. Products in the tests were compared with professional peat-based controls.
Nikki Burton, Managing Director at Melcourt said: "We’re so proud to be recognised again in this way. These endorsements further reinforce our science-led approach, and our commitment to providing customers with products that deliver superb results time after time."
