Far North Queensland Peat: The History
The peat product was discovered by a local farmer, on his Upper Barron property. It was in a swamp, which had been storing this rich peat product for thousands of years. Realising its potential, the farmer harvested the product and opened the Tropical Peat business in 1982. At the time, it was a virtually unknown product. Since then, it has become a popular medium to create premium potting mixes for the nursery industry and domestic customers. As its popularity and market expanded, so did the business, to include a range of other raw materials. The mission is to be the go-to place when you want the best for your garden. Natures Earth FNQ is about creating a healthier, happier world through soil nutrients.
