Growing Media sales set a new record high from the Bank Holiday Monday onwards.
GTN Bestsellers Top 50 volumes just pipped the previous record set in early May 2016. As a result the year on year deficit has now dropped to below 10%.
How much of that will be made up during the rest of May? If plant sales keep running at all time highs too, the gap is sure to close.
• Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes, 56 litres holds on at No 1 with Westland Jacks Magic, 60L moving up to No 2.
• Westland Gro-Sure Easy Container Compost, 50 litres, moves up 21 places to No 29.
• Bloomin Amazing Soil Enricher, 70 litres is the highest placed re-entry at No 44.
The performance of Bloomin Amazing is really quite something. A minnow amongst the giant growing media companies, but it just goes to show if you have a great product and a sprinkling of marketing magic you can achieve wonders
