Growing media – 24% up

 

Although growing media sales last week were 38% down on the same week last year, sales were 37% ahead of the average for the week in the previous six years.

 

Will growing media sales continue at these high levels all the way through to September?  Current sales volumes are closer to those we’d normally see in early June or in September as autumn planting gets underway.

 

Year to date, the GTN Bestsellers Growing Media Top 50 sales index sits at 24% up on 2019 and 35% up on 2018.  

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Westland Jack's Magic All Purpose Compost 50 litres was the highest chart climber, up 23 places to No 15.
  • Evergreen Garden Care Miracle-Gro Organic Peat Free 40 litres re-entered the Top 50 at No 26.
  • Melcourt SylvaGrow Peat Free Tub & Basket 50 litres saw a 60% increase in sales to re-enter at No 48.
