Bank Holiday doesn't clear growing media blues

The Bank Holiday weekend helped growing media sales to grow week-on-week but volumes are still lagging behind 2011 and 2012 figures.

Two noticeable movers in the GTN Bestsellers Growing Media chart were John Innes-related products. The highest climber was Westland Multipurpose John Innes 20-litres with 33% extra free at No 33, and the highest re-entry belonged to Arthur Bowers Multipurpose + John Innes 50 litres at No 37.

The GTN Bestellers chart again indicates that growbags and container and basket composts, along with Multipurpose, look the best bets for decent sales at the moment.

The only new entry is Scotts Levington Container & Hanging Basket Compost 50 litres, which has just made it into the chart at No 50.
