Record January week for growing media sales
 

Growing Media sales took a huge leap last week as more Early Bird offers came on to the market. Uptake meant sales were up 50% on the same week last year to reach an all-time record sales volume level for January.


Highlights were:

  • Evergreen Garden Care Levington Essential Multi Purpose, 50 litres, climbs 47 places to No 1.
  • Westland John Innes Seed Sowing Compost, 10 litres, is the highest new entry of the week.
  • Bloomin Amazing Soil Enricher, 70L, a Glee New Product Awards winner, moved up 17 places to No 12.
