RocketGro see massive rise in sales of their 100% Peat Free, Vegan, Organic Soil Improver and Chemical Free liquid plant feed
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

RocketGro are shipping product out right now and have a two week waiting list for deliveries. Please contact the company for further details. RocketGro have signed up multiple independent garden centre chains. 

 

Launched in March 2021 from their farm in Somerset, RocketGro have two lead products ‘Magic Mulch’ and ‘Plant Fuel’. The farm is a specialist AD plant, and the by-product of the Anaerobic Digestion process is split into a liquid and a fibre (mulch) that are then packaged as Soil Association approved RocketGro products.

 

The liquid and mulch have been spread over surrounding farms fields for years as a bio nutrient rich source of NPK and fibre. They are so good at raising yields that no chemical fertilisers are needed on these farms.

 

The crops grown on the farm are then fed back into the AD plant in the form of Maize, Rye, Beet and Grass and so a complete virtuous circle is formed.

 

A 100% eco sustainable product is derived post the production of gas and electricity that is fed into the national grid. 

 

A British product, RocketGro believe that the product sells itself, but have added eye catching high spec packaging and design to appeal to a cross generation gardening market.

 

The growing drive for Peat alternatives leaves RocketGro well positioned for growth as orders come in for the summer.

 

Current production enables the farm to bag 42,000 of the 50 litre bags per week. 

 

The all natural RocketGro ‘Magic Mulch’ is a perfect addition to boost tired compost and poor soil that needs an input of structure and water retaining fibre, particularly good for heavy clay soils. 

 

Mixing the mulch with another medium such as compost makes for the perfect yield boosting potting mix.

 

The chemical free natural ‘Plant Fuel’ is a concentrated liquid plant food for indoor and outdoor plants.

 

10% of profits from the sale of RocketGro products go to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, a charity close to the hearts of the RocketGro family.
