Growing media sales set for a record month
 

Growing Media Top 50 Bestsellers sales volumes for April are up 10% on last year, reversing the minus 10% volume sales in March.

If the good weather holds we could be in for a record April in the growing media stakes, which bodes well for all gardening activity for the rest of the year.

Star performers this week include:

  • Shamrock Multipurpose compost is the highest chart climber, up 27 places.
  • Scotts Levington Original Gro bags move up 3 places to No 2.
  • Growise Multi-purpose with John Innes, 56 litres, is the highest re-entry to the Top 50.
