From: Peter Fawcett, St. Peg Lane, Cleckheaton.
The general public doesn't realise the effect peat free compost will have on commercial horticulture. It's all very well for one man growing in his own garden. But growing on a large scale is a totally different story. And It will have far reaching effects, More watering - thus more cost of labour to do the watering. And are we not asked to use less water? The tree nurseries in particular will be badly affected.
All of which will increase labour cost and in paying for more water, which will hit the public in their pockets. So it's not as simple as saying ‘I grew my plants in my garden and they grew okay’. To conclude, it is being brought in in a rush without a real alternative to peat. The ban should be delayed until a real alternative has been found. And one of the alternatives coir, has a high carbon footprint in its transportation from Sri Lanka.
