Choose Coir Compost and Kick the Peat Habit this Year

For release 19th March 2002

Make this the year you go PEAT FREE in your garden. Grow Brics are a popular
peat alternative that are made from 100% recycled coconut fibres. Each bric
makes 10 litres (a bucket full) of compost simply by adding water. Ideal for
hanging baskets, window boxes, seed germination or propagating cuttings.

In its peat-free garden campaign the Irish Peatland Conservation Council
hopes to persuade gardeners to switch from using peat which destroys wild
boglands. With this in mind the IPCC is encouraging the use of Gro-Bric, a
100% natural renewable peat-free product. Each Gro-Bric, which is just half
the size of a shoe box, makes about 10 litres of multi-purpose compost by
just adding water.

Gro-Brics are made from coir waste left over from the coconut industry and
are ideal as a peat free compost substitute. Coir makes an ideal seed
germination medium and is ideal (when mixed with well rotted compost) as a
growing medium for container plants and hanging baskets.

The IPCC constantly campaigns for the protection of all important peatlands
remaining in Ireland. Many of our raised bogs are threatened by the
extraction of moss peat for use in the garden. By gardening without peat and
supporting the IPCC the wild plants and animals which depend on bogs can be
saved.

For a trial pack of Gro-Brics direct to you home fill in the form below and
send together with you payment to IPCC, 119 Capel Street, Dublin 1, or
phone/fax your order to 8722397.
