Growing media makes up for lost ground
 

It has been an amazing week for growing media sales with all but three of the top 50 lines in the GTN Bestsellers chart increasing sales on the previous week.

It seems that gardeners are catching up on growing activity at last. Volume sales for the week are higher than the same period in both 2012 (up by 44.5%) and 2011 (up by 14%).

Notable performances this week are:

  • Westland Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost (50 litres) and Westland Soil Conditioner (60 litres).
  • Arthur Bowers New Horizon Multi Purpose (60 litres) as seen a 100% increase in sales.
  • Growise Multipurpose with John Inness (56 litres) returns to the Top 50.
