Boost for organic growing media products
 
Tomato planter sales grew by 7% where overall growing media sales dropped by 7% last week as gardeners plant more veg plants outside on patios and balconies. 

Organic growing media products also saw a boost last week with organic compost, top soil and manure lines growing sales by over 40%.

The highlights this week were:
  • Scotts Levington Organic Blend Topsoil (25 litres) was the highest climber, moving up 18 places to No 15.
  • Bord na Mona Vital Earth Organic Garden Compost (50 litres) was the highest re-entry at No 21.
  • Another returning product was Westland Gro-Sure Tomato Gro-Pack (22 litres).
  • Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes (56 litres) stayed on top of the chart.
