Peat-free advice for gardeners
Peatlands are wet, boggy habitats that are hugely important as a carbon store, reduce flood risk, and are home to diverse wildlife. Peatlands store over twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests combined, so keeping peat in bogs and not in bags for compost is an essential part of fighting climate change. We can all play our part by going peat-free in our gardens – here’s all the information you need to make peat-free gardening easy.
