The Big Green Money Show: For Peat's Sake

For Peat's Sake

BBC Radio 5 Live - The Big Green Money Show, For Peat's Sake

Did you know our peatlands store more carbon than all the forests in the world?

Deborah Meaden of Dragons' Den and Felicity Hannah of BBC Radio 5 Live's Wake Up To Money discuss whether a ban on retail sales of peat can help protect the planet.

The government is considering banning the retail sale of peat in compost, so can the supply chain cope if a ban comes in? Lots of gardeners insist peat-free compost is inferior as well, are they right? Dobbies, Britain’ biggest garden centre chain, stopped selling peat-based composts at the beginning of 2022. They tell Deborah and Fliss how they did it and what customers made of it.
