Volumes of growing media still show encouraging signs
 
We’ve now had 10 out of the last 11 weeks where Growing Media Top 50 sales volumes were up on last year. This week’s sales are 37% above the same period in 2012 and 15% higher than in 2011.

The biggest move this week was made by Neolay Rubber Mulch Chips which saw an amazing 660% increase in sales to become the highest new entry in the chart. Gem Cambark Chunky Chip Bark also proved popular, and it was the highest re-entry at No 42.

The highest climber of the week was Scotts Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Premium Garden Soil (25 litres), jumping 17 places to No 16. Meanwhile, Westland John Innes Young Plants No 1 (30 litres) saw a 68% increase in sales to re-enter the Top 50.
