Still a quarter more home growing going on

 

Growing Media volume sales stayed just about static week on week as we move into May and static year on year too.

 

That means the Top 50 Growing Media sales volumes are now 2% up on 2021 and 24% up on 2019.  

 

It would appear there is still a quarter core growing going on than before the pandemic and that isn’t dropping away yet.

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Westland Bio Life Soil Improver 50 litres climbs 11 places up the GTN Growing Media chart to be the bestselling soil improver product at No 26 overall.
  • Bathgate Multi-Purpose John Innes 50 litres re-entered at No 50.
  • Evergreen Garden Care Miracle-Gro Peat Free Rose Compost 40 litres is a new entry at No 46.
