RocketGro replaces environmentally damaging peat with nutrient-rich digestate fibre— a by-product of renewable biogas production on a Somerset family farm. By up-cycling this plant material, every bag helps reduce landfill, cut carbon emissions, and protect the UK’s precious peatlands. Gardeners get a high-performance medium while supporting a truly circular, home-grown supply chain.
Unlike many standard composts, RocketGro mixes are teeming with beneficial microbes that jump-start root growth and improve nutrient uptake. The result is sturdier seedlings, lusher foliage, and greater resilience to drought and disease. Most blends also contain slow-release nutrition that feeds plants for up to three months, so you water and top-dress less while seeing more vigorous results.
Whether you’re germinating seeds, potting up baskets, filling raised beds, or planting acid-loving shrubs, there’s a RocketGro formula designed for the job. Choose Seed & Cutting for delicate starts, Container & Basket for regular pot culture, Fruit & Veg for productive edibles, Tree & Shrub for woody plants, or Ericaceous for blueberries, rhododendrons, and other lime-haters. Clear on-pack guidance makes selecting the right mix simple.
For germination, fill trays with Seed & Cutting and keep evenly moist— no extra feed needed for six weeks. When potting, always firm the compost gently and water in; its airy structure holds moisture without waterlogging. After 10–12 weeks, top-dress or liquid-feed to extend growth, especially in hungry annuals or heavy-cropping veg. Store any unused compost sealed and under cover to retain its bio-active benefits, and recycle the empty bag where facilities exist for a truly sustainable growing cycle.
