However, some people took issue with Monty’s comments, as they felt they were exclusionary.
“All down to cost Monty, make peat-free compost cheaper than peat compost and people will buy it,” wrote DS37alwaysred.
“This is why it’s dangerous to start culture wars. Pretending it doesn’t exist in gardening is ridiculous. Plenty of people, especially older gardeners, like slightly unfashionable neat gardens with colourful flowers and there’s not a week goes by without an attack on them,” added Taexalon.
