We take a closer look at Durston Garden Products Ltd brand-new peat-free collection, which outperformed both peat and peat-free competitor products in independent growing trials, thanks to a sustainable game-changing material, Gro Fibre.
Durstons independently tested and trialled the formulations from their exciting new range to ensure they would deliver a reliable and repeatable positive growing experience for gardeners… and the results did not disappoint.
Within the trials, overseen by peat-free expert Simon Blackhurst (SJBQC Ltd), Durstons’ brand-new peat-free Multi-Purpose Compost:
- achieved over 70% bigger plants than a professional peat-reduced product on the market
- outperformed both peat and peat-free competitor products on the market
- increased blooms by 50%
Another stand out in the trials was their new peat-free Tub & Basket Compost, which:

Durstons’ remarkable new collection of composts is formulated using their unique additives, Gro Boost and Gro Fibre – revolutionary ingredients that are exclusive to Durstons in the UK – and enhanced with a nutrient package that provides 14 vital nutrients plus feed that lasts up to 3-4 months.
Top-performing ingredients
Some gardeners can be put off by the appearance of peat-free growing media and the inconsistency in terms of texture. This isn’t something you need to worry about with the Durstons range. The great thing about incorporating Gro Fibre, which ismade from a single species of pine, is that it helps create a consistently fluffy compost that won’t shrink or slump. Gardeners will find it a pleasure to use!
Gro Fibre also supports moisture retention and doesn’t lock nutrients, like some other peat-free growing media on the market. The end result is a compost that delivers a reliably impressive performance, year in, year out!
Meanwhile, Gro Boost is made from high quality composted materials and produced locally at Durstons’ site. It has a strong water holding capacity, boasts a beneficial microbiological profile together with both major and minor nutrients, is 100% natural and renewable, and is vegan friendly.
The result is an outstanding peat-free compost that provides better air space and greater moisture availability, enabling plants to establish strong roots, quickly.
