100% Peat Free
We are proud to say that we have never used peat in our products, and never will. Peat is a non-renewable resource, just like oil and coal, and its removal from peat-bogs results in the release of greenhouse gases and destruction of an important habitat for rare wildlife. Our customers can enjoy their purchase in the knowledge that they are helping to fight climate change, protect biodiversity, combat depletion of natural resources, and support the circular economy!
Manufactured from composted garden cuttings
At Pro-Grow, we use composted garden cuttings as the base ingredient for our products. This means that all the goodness in the plants is captured in our products and returned to the soil where it belongs. Collecting garden cuttings separately and composting them means they do not go to a landfill where they would decompose anaerobically and produce methane which is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
A Veolia owned product
Veolia operates 11 composting sites in the UK, processing over 400,000 tonnes of garden waste each year.
All our facilities are PAS100 and Quality Protocol certified and combined create 400,000 cubic metres of compost each year.

The Pro-Grow Journey
From waste to rich organic compost or the Pro-Grow journey...
Ever wondered how we produce compost from garden waste?
Pro-Grow is made using a completely natural process.
We only add water and air in order to create the perfect conditions for the micro-organisms which are naturally present in the material to break down the organic matter and create a really high quality compost product.
Garden waste is collected by our collection crews
Then it is delivered to the composting facilities, where its origin is recorded
Any visible contaminants such as plastic, stones and metals are removed
The cleaned material is blended with other loads to ensure consistency
It is then shredded to reduce the size of larger fractions and ensure good mixing of green and woody materials The shredded material is formed into windrows 100 metres long and up to 3.5 metres high
The physical structure and constituent materials of the windrow are crucial in ensuring the conditions for composting are optimised
After formation of the windrow and optimisation of conditions the internal temperature of the window rises to at least 70 degrees centigrade and is maintained at that level for a minimum of 48 hours
This destroys any viable seeds or plant pathogens within the green waste
The windrows are then aerated, turned and mixed every 10-14 days for the next 4 months
When fully composted the material is graded according to customer requirements
After it all, we guarantee high quality organic compost that has been continually controlled to ensure we offer the best product to our customers
