Advice Sheet No 1: Using Peat Free Compost. This sheet provides hints and tips on using peat-free compost, which is becoming the de-facto standard in the UK and soon will be all that can be sold. You can download it here.

Advice Sheet No 2: Alternatives to John Innes No 3. John Innes No 3 is used for potting and container gardening but if it is not available, this sheet provides some alternative suggestions. You can download it here.
