If Sustainability is about the constant regeneration of natural resources, and never depleting that natural resource, then RocketGro is 100% Sustainable. We grow, produce and manufacture our products on our farm in Somerset. Thousands of acres of Rye, Maize and Grass are planted and harvested on the farm, and then fed into our biodigesters. These then generate clean green renewable energy in the form of Biogas (some of which then generates electricity), which powers 8000 homes and our farm.

The by-product of our Biogas generation business forms the base ingredient to all RocketGro products, and what is left is spread back onto the fields to grow our next crop of Rye, Maize and Grass. It is a wonderful virtuous cycle.

In 2022 we are committed to a full Carbon audit and the results of which will hopefully confirm our belief that we are somewhere between Carbon Neutral and Carbon Negative as a business.

We are 100% Peat-Free, and 100% Coir-Free. Whatever our pro or negative position on Peat and Coir, the high amount of pollution created in shipping and transporting these products into the UK is indisputable and we are not ever going to include these ingredients in our products.

All ingredients in RocketGro products will continue to be sourced from Somerset and the South West, and from the UK only.

All our products are Soil Association Approved Organic. None of our products contain chemicals of any sort.

We utilise the finest certified Soil Association Approved composted green waste to blend into our products. Again this is another 100% sustainable approach. We believe in constantly pushing the eco boundaries and trying to do better. Our plastic packaging is made from part recycled plastic and we will raise that to be as close to 100% as soon as the plastics industry will allow. Our electric vehicles on site are powered by the electricity generated by the Biogas produced in the production of RocketGro products. We are rewilding some of our land to create bee friendly habitats with wildflowers, and we are moving in the direction of making our farm completely Organic.

RocketGro are producing videos, training manuals, and always striving to do our best to help our customers fully understand the sustainable RocketGro difference, enabling the customers in garden centres to make an informed decision.

Soil health and the creation of superior natural growing media is what we stand for at RocketGro and we are proud to be 100% British and 100% sustainable.

The founders of RocketGro are Tim Roe and Toby Thomas. Tim’s family have been successfully farming in Somerset for over 100 years. Toby is a businessman passionate about driving forward change in how we live through innovation, creativity and positive disruption to established markets.
