Can we all stop using and recommending peat based composts please?

It takes so long to make, peat is a non renewable source

It does far more good storing carbon in the ground in situ than it ever will do in a garden, yes, even for growing food.

I’ve just seen a website recommending using peat based compost😭

Peat was introduced as a cheaper filler for compost mixes within the lifetime of people alive today. It was not always used. We can switch away
