RocketGro & River Cottage celebrate another year of growing success!
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Having enjoyed another great year of results at River Cottage, RocketGro is looking forward to supporting Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and his team in 2027 with all their compost and mulching needs with a continued focus on soil health and rising yield!

 

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall commented: “I’m a huge fan of RocketGro’s brilliant organic range of composts and mulches. I’ve been using them for years both at home and in the River Cottage veg gardens, and the results have been superb. The seed and cutting compost has an excellent germination rate, and the topsoil and multipurpose compost make a great combination for growing in containers and raised beds. And the magic mulch is a very useful top dressing for our no-dig system at River Cottage.  I’m looking forward to many more seasons of flourishing veg beds in partnership with Toby and the excellent RocketGro team.”

 

RocketGro Managing Director Toby Thomas commented: “We are thrilled that Hugh and his team remain so happy with our RocketGro products. The River Cottage gardens, poly tunnels and veg beds are a big producer of most of the vegetables, salads, and root crops that are used in their restaurant and cookery school. The fact that all of these start life in RocketGro, whilst at the same time our products continue to nurture the soil across the property boosting its health and vitality for greater yield is a testament to how far RocketGro has come in the last 6 years. Unbeknown to us, Hugh was buying our products from the very beginning. The fact that we now have this ongoing relationship is a truly special part of our story.”
