Reduced peat

Focus DIY, the British DIY superstore operator, is extending it range of peat reduced products as part of a four-year proactive programme. All 20 and 30 bedding plant packs will have a reduced peat content and the percentage of peat present in the compost used for each plant will be indicated on the packaging. Focus marketing director Jill Keen says that this is just the first step in the group’s efforts to cut the use of  peat in compost and live plant ranges.
