Why Peat‑Free Gardening Matters – And How Natura Grow Helps You Garden Sustainably

Peat‑free gardening is becoming essential for anyone who wants to protect the environment while growing healthier, more resilient plants. Peatlands are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth: although they cover only 3% of land, they store twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests combined. When peat remains waterlogged, this carbon stays safely locked away — but the moment peat is harvested, carbon dioxide is released immediately, contributing to climate change.

Despite their importance, UK peatlands have been severely damaged. Only 6% of lowland raised bogs still survive today, falling from around 95,000 ha to just 6,000 ha — a dramatic loss. Peat is also effectively non‑renewable, regenerating at only around 1mm per year, less than 0.5% of the rate at which it’s extracted.

Peat bogs also support over 5,000 insect species, including many that receive almost no conservation funding, and they play a vital role in water management. Healthy bogs help reduce flooding by absorbing and slowly releasing water — and the peat itself acts as a natural filtration system, reducing the treatment needed for drinking water.

With all this at stake, switching to peat‑free solutions is one of the simplest ways gardeners can make a real difference.
