The average volume sales increase per week for growing media since re-opening has been 64% and last week, as sales would normally be dwindling in advance of summer holidays, sales climbed and were up 69% on last year.
Cumulatively the GTN Growing Media Top 50 sales index is now at 17.2% down on last year compared to 50.4% down at the end of lockdown. A continued 30% increase in growing activity would get us to 6% down on last year at the year end, which would be parity on 2018 and ahead of all the previous three years.
