Peat Free Gardening

Sorry if you've seen this elsewhere but I want to get to as many people as possible with this.

Please take a moment or two to read this post about Peat Free Gardening and, if you are interested to find out more, follow the the links to The Kew website and the RSGB website.

Many thanks.

Hello Dirty Hoer,
I tried those little biodegradable planting pots and the results were disastrous. They seemed to dry out in 2 minutes and getting them rehydrated was near impossible. I will never use them again. I threw some on the compost heap.
Yes I know that peat is very eco unfriendly and I switched to peat free compost. That was disastrous. Nothing would grow in the stuff. Now I try to use my own compost where available.
How does everyone else get on and what experience do they have of peat pots and peat free compost.
