Good week for growing media sales...but let's not get carried away
 

Even with the wet weather, it was a good week for growing media sales – they were up 8% with all but 12 of the Top 50 lines increasing sales week-on-week.

But sales totals were down a disappointing 27% on the same week last year.

Highest re-entry was the Levington Tomorite Giant Planter, back in at No.13. Highest Climber was Westland’s 30L ericaceous compost with John Innes, while the highest new entry was a 25L pack of J.Arthur Bowers John Innes Seed Compost - a true gardener’s purchase. Westland Multi Purpose 50L took back the No 1 slot as Jack’s Magic slipped to No.10.
