Performance Compost

See the difference with Durstons

Our focus is on performance.

And it’s about much more than just the superior performance of our growing media – compost that’s independently proven to deliver more blooms and bigger plants than the competition.

For us, performance is about making a difference in whatever way we can. Whether it’s for our partners, distributors or end customers, we perform at every level.
