Easter momentum lost for growing media sales
 

The momentum of the second Easter week didn’t carry on last week with growing media sales dropping back slightly. 

 

We sure do need some great volumes over the coming weeks and the May Bank holidays to get sales back up to last years levels now.


Highlights were:

  • Scotts Levington Original Gro-bag grew sales by over 100% to move up to No 6.
  • Bloomin Amazing Soil Enricher, 70 litres moved up from No 14 to No 7.
  • Westland Multi Purpose Compost, 70 litres was the highest re-entry at No 26.
