Small volumes of growing media are selling now we get into the last few weeks before Christmas.
Whatever happens next week sales for the year will be 7% up which is great news for everyone in the industry.
That indicates 7% more core gardening during the year and potentially much more container gardening, a trend we believe will continue to grow in 2017.
The main highlights were:
Scotts Levington Ericaceous Compost (50 litres) was the highest climber, jumping 34 places to No 16.
Scotts Miracle Gro Moisture Control Bark (55 litres) was the highest re-entry at No 9.
Other products returning to the Top 50 were Scotts Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Pot & Basket (50 litres), Westland Orchid Compost (10 litres) , and Arthur Bowers Multipurpose Compost (50 litres).
Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes (56 litres) retained the top spot.
