No sign of growing media demand slowing

 

Growing Media sales in the first week of August 2021 were 51% higher than the same week in 2019, and 35% ahead of the average for the six years prior to 2020.

 

The demand for growing media is not slowing at all. That puts even more pressure on the Peat Free compost issue.

 

In this week’s GTN Growing Media chart 25% of the sales volume were specific Peat Free lines.

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Westland Multipurpose Compost with John Innes 50 litres stays at the Top of the GTN chart.
  • Evergreen Garden Care Miracle-Gro Peat Free All Purpose 40 litres is the highest placed Peat Free line, up one place to No 3.
  • Growth Technology Houseplant Focus Repotting Mix Peat Free 2 litres climb furthest up the chart to No 8.
