Snow in the South caused a drop in growing media sales, but overall the total sold last week was the second highest Top 50 level for the first week of February over the past five years.
So we can remain positive because where the weather is OK gardening activity is happening. In the GTN Top 50, John Innes composts were the big movers last week.
Highlights were:
Westland Multi Purpose with John Innes, 60 litres, is the highest re-entry to the chart, back in at No 10.
Evergreen Garden Care Levington Multipurpose with John Innes, 50 litres, is the highest chart climber, up 34 places to No 12.
Westland John Innes No 3 Compost, 35 litres, is the highest new entry at No 29.
