Melcourt’s peat-free compost recognised as top performer

Melcourt’s SylvaGrow Multi-Purpose compost has achieved Which? Best Buy status. The peat-free product can now use the endorsement, though Melcourt says for production reasons the logo will not appear on its bags.

Managing director Andy Chalmers says: “It will be challenging to quantify the benefits derived from the Which? endorsement, but in a typical garden centre compost environment, the widely recognised and respected logo should help customers make the right choice.

“In a market with no formal product quality standards, SylvaGrow Multi-Purpose’s achievement is a testament to the diligent R&D work carried out over many years and our excellent production team.”
