Everybody uses carbon based fuels every day down to the delivery trucks 
supplying shops with our foods. It's difficult to be totally environmentally 
friendly. It's not a good idea but we all go along with it !! What 
alternative is their?
Perhaps we should start looking at Oak leaf mould to replace peat. Go to an 
oak wood & go down to the 3 year level. Fantastic media & renewable. Three 
years to make this - how long a peat bog?
