Westland Horticulture has announced the launch of a brand-new peat free compost, Boost All Purpose Compost.

Westland is tackling the challenges faced by consumers when using peat free compost with the introduction of the Boost All Purpose Compost that features patented West+2 Moisture Lock Technology. This proprietary technology helps to retain and lock in moisture.

Boost compost also includes water-storing granules and a surfactant that makes it easier for customers to rewet if it has been left to dry out. This guarantees optimal plant health, whilst combatting the inconvenience consumers face when attempting to keep their containers moist throughout the summer.

Following the success of Boost All Purpose Liquid Plant Food, Westland has additionally introduced the new Boost All Purpose compost, which is now available in 46-litre bags via Westland Live.

Westland’s packaging and point-of-sale approach prompts shoppers to bundle feed with compost purchases. Boost All Purpose compost maintains plant hydration, while Boost All Purpose Liquid Feed boosts blooms by 4x, maximising plant potential.

Helen Amos, head of category, Westland, said: “Innovation is at the heart of our business, and our latest peat free Boost All Purpose Compost is a testament to that. We understand the challenges many consumers face with container gardening, particularly with peat free, and our technology in both our compost and plant feed ensures plants stay hydrated and get the nutrients they need to thrive.”

Westland products are available for 24/7 ordering through Westland Live, ensuring convenient access for regular top-ups via weekly deliveries.
