One of the things that has made me a devoted fan of #GardenersWorld (BBC and BritBox) is their dedication to getting gardeners off of peat as a growing medium. This week's show mentioning the upcoming ban on peat in English compost wasn't, I'm sure, meant as a victory lap, but they deserve one. They've done a lot to move that needle.
Companies, states, and the U.S. in general should be moving faster in this direction. No one needs to grow in peat.
