Gardeners prefer peat-free compost or soil as a multi-purpose gardening resource. Most soils are made from tree waste or garden cuttings, saving refuse from landfill and producing a rich gardening base.

Peat beds, traditionally the source for peat-based composts, have also been depleted and take hundreds of thousands of years to establish, so the benefits to the natural world and our native ecosystems are significant.

How is peat-free soil made?

Forestry and botanical cuttings are shredded and then composted in the usual way, with regular turning to ensure the material decomposes evenly and thoroughly.

Each batch takes around three months to make and is screened before packing to remove larger wooden particles and leave you with a sack of beautifully fertile, peat-free compost ready for immediate use in your garden.

Along with the environmentally green credentials, AK Kin peat-free compost is versatile and will improve the outcomes of countless gardening projects.

As a few examples of common uses for peat-free soil:

• Feeding mulch involves adding a layer of around four to eight cm along the top of the soil in your flower beds. The compost prevents weed growth, stops excessive moisture loss, and feeds your plants and soil simultaneously.
• Topdressing lawns means adding a finely screened organic compost to your lawn as a feed, ensuring the grass stays green and healthy even in drier conditions, with a reduced water requirement.
• Incorporating peat-free compost into the topsoil in your garden improves soil quality by enhancing fertility, increasing the soil temperature and raising the moisture retention qualities.
• You can use peat-free soil as compost for shrubs and plants, lining the pre-dug hole before planting. This process helps embed healthier roots with better moisture retention and establish a strong plant base for ongoing growth.
• Laying turf – peat-free soils are ideal for turfing, and they reduce the time required for the new roots to knit with your topsoil and make it faster to establish a new lawn (with a shorter watering timescale). Just add a layer of peat-free compost of around two cm thick to the topsoil, and be sure to rake it in before you lay your turf.
