Growing media sales had a great week after the sun finally shone enough to encourage gardeners to venture out into their gardens and into garden centres.  

With Top 50 growing media lines sales volumes more than doubling on the first Easter week the GTN Growing Media index is nearly back up to 5% more growing activity than last year.

Star performers this week include:

• Westland Bed and Border Chipped Bark (70 litres) has the week’s highest percentage sales increase.
• Scotts Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Pot & Basket 50 litres is the highest climber, up 16 places.
• All but two lines in the Top 50 saw week-on-week sales increases.

How will the grafted veg plants fare when they sell through this week?
