Container planting offers hope for growing media sales
 

Volume sales in the Growing Media chart are down 12% on the previous week and down 35% on the same week last year. The encouraging sign is that gardeners are still buying compost to plant up containers. 

  • The highest new entry is Westland Gro-Sure Container and Basket Compost (50 litres). 
  • The highest re-entry is Westland John Innes Repotting No 2 (30 litres). 
  • Scotts Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Pot & Basket (50 litres) moves into the Top 10 bestsellers.
