Bord na Móna's Growise paves the way for peat-alternative composting
Published: 24 November 2017
As one of the largest providers of peat–reduced and peat-free growing media, Bord Na Móna's Growise is leading the way in the development of alternatives to peat based retail growing media.
With the largest green waste composting facility in Ireland and a recent acquisition of one of the largest green waste composting companies in the UK, Bord na Móna Horticulture has over a decade’s worth of experience in this area. The company is also recognised globally for its technical and operational expertise. Unlike other commonly-used peat substitutes, the properly-composted green waste used in Bord na Móna growing media sees naturally occurring and valuable nutrients released back into plants, for bigger, brighter blooms. This proves that carefully-blended peat alternative formulas and quality ingredients will result in a premium product able to equal and exceed the performance seen in traditional peat reduced growing media, says the company.
