Peat Free Compost 2023

On the subject of peat, there used to be a big compost making company called White Moss Horticulture with a facility quite near me. They were bought by the big Irish company Bord na Móna in 2017. They seemingly abandoned the facility, leaving thousands of bags of multi-purpose compost behind, stacked on top of each other and wrapped with plastic. Over the years, the plastic wrapping degraded in the sun and wind leading to the stacks of bags collapsing. Yesterday I drove past the facility and saw a massive mountains of what looked like peat. It seems they have emptied all the bags of compost and are sifting the peat to get the plastic wrapping out. So if you buy some peat-based compost and find plastic in it, you know where it's come from.
