Is there still a growing media peak to come
 
Will the sales graph for growing media sales look like the UK double dip recession this year or just continue the week on week decline through to the summer?  It’s all down to this Bank Holiday weekend it would appear. 

Last year the Whit Bank Holiday weekend was the biggest of the year for growing media sales after an April and May that was wetter than ever. But in a normal year the peak is either at Easter or the May Day Bank Holiday.  As we know this year is far from normal so are your growing media sales areas ready for the rush?

The GTN Bestellers chart indicates that grow bags and container and basket composts, along with Multipurpose, look the best bets for you to major on this weekend with aisles of those lines performing better than the rest of the Top 50 overall.

Westland’s West+ Mini Bales of Container and Hanging Basket Compost are the week's highest chart climber, up 31 places to No 15.  An ideal addition to the hanging basket kit we’ve been on about over the past few weeks!
