Scotts Levington
Scotts lead the way with new Levington Proffessional Range

Nearly 40 years after its revolutionary introduction Levington, the UK's leading growing media brand/ has reached another landmark. From now on every Levington formulation will contain up to 40% recycled and co-product ingredient, instead of peat as standard - helping growers and customer targets for peat reduction.

Re-branded Levington Pro, the new range is manufactured from a blend of non-SSSI (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) peat and pine bark (a by-product of the forestry industry).

The development of Levington Pro has taken some 3 years, with fundamental product testing at Scotts Levington Research Station/combined with a comprehensive programme of field testing throughout the UK. Hundreds of crop types and every conceivable growing regime have been included in the research and results have been uniformly excellent.

All Professional composts are available in bulk bags including special mixes; Please contact us for more details
