The biggest week for Growing Media sales, ever!
 

Sales of Growing Media during the second week after re-opening soared to the highest levels ever recorded by GTN Bestsellers and not by a small margin.  The volumes of the GTN Bestsellers Top 50 Growing Media lines were 47% higher than the previous week’s high set during the early May Bank Holiday in 2018.

 

With all that pent up demand coming through in sales there was a concern that sustainability issues might drop away, however Westland’s New Horizon All Plants Compost 60 litres has been the post lockdown bestseller, last week again selling 2 x the volume of the No 2 line.

  • Westland Hortus Multi Purpose 50 litres was an instant bestselling newcomer to the GTN Chart last week, debuting at No 2.
  • Evergreen Garden Care Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Pot & Basket Compost 40 litres was the highest chart climber, moving up 19 places to No 12.
  • Westland Alpine Planting Mix was also a new entry at No 49, the first time an Alpine specialist compost had featured in the GTN Top 50.
