PEAT FREE COMPOST
Available At The Shop Now
An ode to protecting our peat bogs......
Marchington’s shelves proudly boast
SylvaGrow compost—no peat to roast!
A community shop, kind and keen,
That keeps the bogs lush, dark and green.
​
On International Bog Day we cheer,
July 27 2025 is the date to revere
For peat bogs are marvels, carbon locked tight,
Holding more COâ‚‚ than forests in flight
​
Marchington’s peat‑free bags of gold
Contain coir, fine bark and wood fibre bold—
A sustainable trio, RHS‑endorsed and smart,
To feed your flowers and win a gardener’s heart
​
No peat means spared bogs remain,
As homes for moorhens, cottongrass, and rain.
Britain’s bogs, once rich, now barely survive,
Each bag you buy helps peatlands thrive
​
Your garden says “thank you!” as roots take hold,
Better water retention, structure firm and bold.
Less acidity, more microbes that boost plant might—
All from peat‑free compost, growing strong in the light
​
So Marchington Community Shop, you clever team,
Offer peat‑free compost that fulfils our green dream.
Gardeners laugh with glee and plant away—
While bogs stay boggy on International Bog Day!
