HORTWEEK SURVEY: Are you changing your plant offering due to changing to peat-free?

***SURVEY NOW CLOSED***

In recent years, many UK plant nurseries have become peat-free or are in the process of doing so.

Some plants grow easier in peat-free growing media mixes - and there have been calls for some plants to be excluded from a peat-ban because of the difficulty in growing them in peat-free compost.

HortWeek would like to know whether you have had to cut plants from your nursery offering due to transitioning to peat-free or if you are planning to.

Please let us know in this completely anonymous and brief survey.
