I’m going to tear my hair out if I hear any more about environmental issues.We we’re protesting in the 60 s about all this and nobody took a blind bit of notice. It makes no difference now what we do …….it’s far too late !
I'm not ashamed to admit that I don't use peat free compost. Ireland burns millions of tons of peat every year in their power stations, so I'm not going to feel guilty about the few kilos I use per year
That doesn't make it OK! Digging up peat for horticultural reasons is just as bad as digging it up for power stations.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

I know, but peat free compost is crap
Maybe so but it's a whole lot better than the climate change disaster that is about to overtake us all.
Looking at the bigger picture, ornamental horticulture is way down the list of important things. Make do with alternatives. You give the impression of having a large garden; use your own compost and garden soil. Accept there will be some failures; it will help save the planet.

I have horse poo delivered from a neighbour and wood chip delivered by tree surgeons.( all of which are technically "waste products " . I reckon I make about 50 tons of compost a year. Is that enough?

That's great! So why do you need to buy peat?

To get a sterile growing medium
I really think we (and I say we because it applies to most of us) need to change our mindset. Accept that there will be failures with a less perfect product by going peat free. It's a whole lot better than mass extinction. Giving up peat use may be seen as only a small thing but if everyone did their bit, gave up a few things that we regard as necessary but are really luxuries, (and I would include excessive travel and car usage in that too) we just might be able to reverse things. But it needs everyone to do their bit.....everyone.
