Growing media sales rise by 4%
 
The nation’s gardeners are back on track with growing activity.  Sales of growing media moved up 4% even despite the second week of unusually hot September weather.

As noted in the Garden Products chart, plenty of orchid and other houseplant activity is also stimulating growing media sales.

This week’s highlights were:
  • Bord na Mona Growise Organic Farmyard Manure (50 litres) was the highest climber, jumping 28 places to No 20.
  • Scotts Levington Ericaceous Compost (50 litres) was the highest re-entry at No 30.
  • Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes (56 litres) moved back to the top spot.
  • Westland The Gardener’s Soil Conditioner (50 litres) returned to the Top 50.
