Two products are showing sales increases of at least 10-fold compared to last week - Arthur Bowers New Horizon Compact Coir 40L, a re-entry at No.34, and the same brand’s Clavering Horse Manure, which did enough to creep in at No.50.
Meanwhile, New Horizon Multi-Purpose 50L and Westland Multipurpose 75L both enjoyed sales lifts of at least 500%.
Note how John Innes still holds sway with early-season buyers; 13 of this week’s Top 50 include a John Innes element. (Of course the original John Innes formula specifies peat as an ingredient. What will happen, come 2020, if peat does finally become a proscribed substance for growing media?).
Westland’s peat-based ‘Jack’s Magic’ all-purpose continued to outsell all others in this week’s chart.
