Farmyard manure sales beat the February blues
 
As the early season compost offers start to wind up causing a drop in sales overall, feeding veg beds and flower borders with organic matter sees a 15% increase in farmyard manure sales week on week.
 
Last year packs of manure sales grew every week through February. How will you make the most of this opportunity?

This week’s highlights were:
  • Scotts Levington Organic Choice Farmyard Manure 56 litres, Westland Gro-Sure Farmyard Manure 50 litres and Bord na Mona Growise Organic Farmyard Manure 50 litres were all in the Top 10.
  • Scotts Levington Seed & Cutting Compost 20 litres was the highest re-entry at No 10.
  • Scotts Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Pot & Basket 50 litres was the highest climber, moving up 22 places to No 16.
