Olivers Growing Media
Our Vision and Why Peat-Free?
At Olivers Plants, we are committed to providing a high-quality, professional-grade, 100% peat-free compost. After extensive trials in our Production Nursery, we’ve found the perfect blend to support a wide range of plants. This compost is reliable and nutrient-rich, but as with any compost, plants will naturally deplete these nutrients as they grow, so additional feeding will be necessary. We recommend using Miracle-Gro® to keep your plants healthy and thriving.
We choose peat-free because peatlands play a crucial role in carbon storage, wildlife habitats, and flood control. Peat extraction damages these delicate ecosystems and contributes to climate change, which is why we’re dedicated to using compost that preserves these vital resources.
