Re: John Innes compost

El48tel I understood peat was supposed to be banned this year, but looking on the web they now seem to have backtracked? Many firms were starting to advertise JI composts as peat free, but it seems the gardeners not unnaturally still prefer peat? Great its still available since in many cases the mi...
