One of UK horticulture’s leading peat-free brands reaches its third decade this year. The Melcourt Sylvamix Range of Professional peat-free Growing Media has been used by nurseries throughout the UK since 2001. And it has proved itself to be reliable, consistent and very popular.
Few other peat-free brands can match the longevity and track record of Sylvamix.
Sylvamix produces successful crops
Melcourt’s technical director Catherine Dawson said: “Sylvamix has been a stalwart growing medium all these years. It’s telling to note that while there hasn’t until very recently been a huge demand for peat-free plants from either garden centres or landscapers, Sylvamix users have nevertheless been able to produce cost-effective crops. Crops that have competed both in price and quality against peat-based equivalents.
“We’re very grateful to our many long-term customers. They have repeatedly demonstrated that peat-free plant production, from cuttings through to large containerised trees, is not only possible but commercially competitive against peat-based production.”
