Compared to the same week last year, growing media sales in the GTN Bestsellers chart are down by 25% and down by 21% on two years ago...
Of the Top 10 Growing Media lines sold by centres providing data to GTN Bestsellers only 75 litre packs of Westland Multipurpose saw a sales increase.
Outside of the Top 10 the lines that also saw sales increases included:
West + Rose, Tree and Shrub Compost, 60 litres moved up 26 places.
Vital Earth Garden Soil, 25 litres, is a re-entry.
Westland Bulb planting compost, 10 litres, is a re-entry just above.
If the cold weather prompts more bulb buying and planting and tree planting we can expect to see further increases of these lines next week.
Gardeners looking for traditional growing media are also driving sales up. Both Westland Jacks Magic and Multipurpose with John Innes saw big sales increases last week. At this time of year peat free alternatives don’t seem to be as popular with gardeners.
