Peat Based potting mixes!
The past 12 months has seen a rapid escalation of prices of pine bark based mixes. There are several reasons why and may continue to do so.
- Higher Transport cost
- Competition from energy companies
- Less bark leaving forests due to mechanized harvesting
From a cost point of view:
Terracult block peat is now a real alternative for most covered crops, especially for growers who blend their own mixes.
An added advantage for large hangers and pots is, the lightweight nature of peat mixes makes for easier handling.
