I know I should but I'm thinking of using peat based compost

[Houseplanter]

* shouldnt*

Because the peat free stuff is so rubbish!

I'm a big houseplant fan (who'd have guessed) and I've repotted several and found it full of hard lumps, fibrous stuff that won't hold any water and worse of all I think fungus gnat larvae.

Now it's outdoor pots time I'm finding it just as horrible.

What's everyone else doing?

Yes, I was emphasising just how good. Not surprisingly really, when you consider trees eventually die, rot, and release their carbon whereas peat stays buried forever. Or should.
