The high rainfall of the past few weeks has put paid to a lot of gardening activity and that has shown through for growing media sales.
After a good start to the month, sales at the end dropped like a stone and the month ended down 3% on last year. It was however the second best sales total for September over the past six years.
Highlights of the week were:
Bulb planting activity stimulated some growing media sales with Westlands 20 litre Bulb planting compost increasing sales to move up 14 places to No 9.
Evergreen Garden Care’s Levington Bark Bale, 100 litres, was the highest chart climber, up 18 places to No 13.
As attention moves indoors Pughs Cactus Gravel saw the biggest percentage increase of the week to re-enter our chart at No 41.
