B&Q, Wickes and Homebase all have new peat free composts in. B&Q is coir, composted bark and green waste. Homebase looks like it is the same as New Horizon (composted bark, wood fibre, coir) but under the Homebase brand. Wickes doesn't say on their website what's in it but it'll probably be the same as one of B&Q or Homebase. Composts with green waste are more likely to contain bits of plastic. So far I've only used New Horizon and quite like it, the bad reviews seem to me to be due to underfeeding.
The price of coir has gone astronomical in the last year, maybe due to the peat free compost makers buying it up, so I no longer use it. Instead I've replaced it with riddled composted bark (really nice and fluffy) which I mix with worm castings/homemade compost.
