Carbon Gold welcome peat-alternative move
Carbon Gold have welcomed the £1-million pledge from Environment Minister Richard Benyon for research into alternatives to peat.

Simon Manley, CEO of Carbon Gold, said: "Our 2012 field trials, in conjunction with 19 professional growers across the UK, have shown that our blend of biochar and coir is a low-carbon, sustainable and effective alternative to peat that delivers excellent germination rates and strong, healthy growth.

"We will be expanding our field trials on a much wider scale in 2013 and welcome the pledge by the Government to help support such research."
