The season keeps on growing

The growing season keeps on going.  Past the half year and we see another record for volume sales for the first week of July, up 43% on the same week last year.

 

With three new entries and eight re-entries it appears gardeners are buying whatever growing media is available, even buying 100 litre packs in good volumes.

  • Erin Excel Multipurpose Compost with Added John Innes 50 litres is the highest new entry at No 7.
  • Westland J. Arthur Bowers Multi Purpose Compost 100 litres was also a new entry at No 27.
  • Evergreen Garden Care Levington Essentials Multi Purpose Compost 50 litres is the highest re-entry at No 3.
