Award shortlist: Simon Bland and Jane Barker A PEAT-free compost range made from sheep’s wool, bracken - and now comfrey - by Dalefoot Composts has been shortlisted for the first ever RHS Chelsea Sustainable Garden Product of the Year Award. Dalefoot Wool Compost with Comfrey, launched earlier this year by the Penrith-based firm, is one of ten shortlisted products to be recognised for their green credentials in this prestigious RHS competition . Family-owned Dalefoot Composts spent five years perfecting the addition of comfrey, a plant superfood, into its popular peat-free Wool Compost range. Comfrey is now grown sustainably at Dalefoot farm near Heltondale as a commercial crop allowing the company to scale up peat-free compost production to supply many more garden centres and nurseries across the UK, plus online for home delivery.
