Peat-free compost

What are the benefits (if any) of peat-free compost over ordinary potting compost? Is one better than the other for particular gardening projects? TIA.

Barclays isa ad

Does anyone else hate this ad? The bundle of notes made to resemble a person singing "Tomorrow". Someone was paid to produce this rubbish.
