“I recently reported that I was conducting my own test reader could do: growing two sets of container spuds - one with peat and one peat-free. I already use peat-free compost, but my aim is to encourage more people to join me, particularly with the much-improved products available. However, one reader felt that I should not mention peat at all (see letters page 64). Let’s be clear, the use of peat compost has to stop – and it will. But we are in a transition period and it’s important to continue to educate and inform. We’re all in this together.”
