# Martins TLC
Martins TLC is a specialist compost manufacturer based in Llandysul, West Wales, producing handcrafted, peat-free growing media. Originally established by Charlie Martin in 2003, the business was acquired by the Clynfyw project in 2021 and is now operated by Ffynnon as of January 2025.
The company serves organic growers, commercial retailers, and home gardeners throughout West Wales with a focus on sustainable, environmentally responsible horticulture. Their core offering is "The Living Compost"—a nutrient-rich, artisan blend combining vermicompost with coir that supports vigorous plant growth whilst eliminating peat extraction impact.
What distinguishes Martins TLC is their commitment to quality and transparency. Rather than using green waste, they feed their worms exclusively on locally sourced manure, creating a superior end product teeming with beneficial microbes. This approach ensures consistent nutrient content and structure ideal for root development. The resulting compost is particularly favoured by professional growers for its workability—the texture allows for easy watering and handling whilst maintaining structural integrity.
Their peat-free philosophy aligns with organic growing standards and delivers genuine environmental benefits, addressing the ecological damage caused by traditional peat harvesting. The business maintains strong relationships with established customer bases, reflecting decades of refined production expertise. Deliveries are available across West Wales, with flexible ordering options from small retail quantities to bulk pallet purchases suited to commercial operations.
