RocketGro

Somerset, 100% Peat-Free, Organic Compost

Why We’ve Chosen RocketGro Compost at Our Garden Centre

At the heart of our garden centre is a simple commitment: to help our customers grow thriving gardens while protecting the environment we all depend on. That is why we are proud to supply RocketGro composts—products that align closely with our values of sustainability, locality, and responsible gardening.

Supporting Local, Sustainable Somerset Production

RocketGro products are made right here in Somerset, supporting local farming and reducing the environmental impact associated with transportation. By choosing locally produced compost, we are helping to strengthen regional agriculture while offering you products with a clear, traceable origin.

What makes RocketGro particularly special is its foundation in farming. For years, Somerset farmers have used these peat-free, organic-approved composts as a natural fertiliser on their land. The results speak for themselves—strong, healthy growth without relying on synthetic chemicals that can harm soil health, waterways, and wildlife.

100% Peat-Free – Protecting Our Planet

All RocketGro products are completely peat-free. This is a crucial factor in sustainable gardening. Peatlands are vital ecosystems that store large amounts of carbon and support unique wildlife habitats. Extracting peat damages these environments and contributes to climate change.

By choosing peat-free compost, you are making a positive environmental decision—helping to preserve these important natural resources for future generations.

Organic, Chemical-Free Gardening

RocketGro composts are 100% free from synthetic chemicals. Instead, they are rich in natural, bio-active nutrients that support healthy soil biology. This means your plants benefit from a more natural growing environment, and you can garden with confidence knowing you are not introducing harmful substances into your soil.

These products are also approved by the Soil Association, the UK’s most trusted and widely recognised organic certification body. This guarantees the highest standards of environmental protection, sustainability, and responsible production.

Sustainability goes beyond what is in the bag. RocketGro compost is created using anaerobic digestion on their Somerset farm—a process that transforms crops into both nutrient-rich compost and renewable energy.

In fact, the same process used to create these composts generates bio-gas that powers around 12,500 local homes. It is a truly circular system: crops are grown, transformed into energy and compost, and then returned to the land to support new growth.

Vegan-Friendly and Environmentally Conscious

RocketGro is also leading the way in ethical gardening. Much of their range is certified by the Vegan Society, including products like Magic Mulch and their liquid feeds. While a small number of products contain manure, the majority of the range is fully vegan-friendly—adding another layer of reassurance for environmentally and ethically conscious gardeners.
