Bord na Mona Horticulture Launches New Growise Compost Range

Bord na Móna Horticulture has launched ‘Growise’, a new range of horticulture products and they are encouraging everyone from the weekend enthusiast to the seasoned professional to get out in to the garden and “Grow Your Own” with the help of their new range.

In keeping with Bord Na Móna’s ‘New Contract With Nature’ the success of Growise is based on matching sustainable green compost containing a natural blend of macro and micronutrients. The range contains a minimum of 20% green compost derived from grass cuttings, hedge clippings and other green organics composted at their state of the art facility at Kilberry, Co. Kildare. This is blended with the superb Irish peat which is recognised as having the best organic structure in the world, for plant growth.

Growise is the only Irish compost diluted with 20% sustainable green compost in the Irish Market and all of the range carry the Guaranteed Irish logo.

The Growise range features many different types of compost, including, planters, growing bags, John Innes and multipurpose compost and topsoil’s to name but a few. The Growise formula is based on ten years of research and development at Bord na Móna leading to their composts being rated 'best in class' in the UK.

Bord na Móna horticulture produces and markets growing media for professional horticulture growers, retail suppliers and for hobby gardeners. Never has the health and economic benefits of growing our own food been more apparent. As the health of the nation has become a major issue, gardening can provide a host of benefits including exercise, relaxation, fun, personal satisfaction and it even gives us an opportunity to educate others on how easy it is to grow something wonderful.

Bord na Móna Horticulture is launching Growise in anticipation of the development of the “Grow Your Own” trend which has been sweeping the nation in the past twelve months. This trend is predicted to continue grow in Ireland due to both the economical benefits but also the sustainability and satisfaction of growing your own, fruit, vegetables and flowers.

Bord Na Móna Horticulture is investing heavily to support the launch of the Growise range, with advertising; in-store promotions and a TV sponsorship with the RTE programme “Super Garden”, on air in May. For a full product listing of the Growise range click on the gardening section.
