contains peat

Please consider a B&Q peat-free alternative to this product. Our UK peatlands are vital for carbon capture and act as our very own rainforest, as well as a haven for wildlife. Thank you

Fine, good quality, but very sandy

Fine and light, but very sandy compared to other brands of potting compost I've tried. However, it has produced many good veg seedlings, so deserves a 4/5.
