Statement on use of peat-based composts from the NAS Management Committee
The NAS recognises the environmental impact of continuing to use peat- based composts and the urgency to find a long- term alternative sources. To this end we are in continual dialogue with DEFRA, other Horticultural Organisations, Suppliers and Trade Associations to encourage a speedy solution.
We will continue to promote home composting methods as a major contributor to maintaining soil fertility.
