Waterlogged pots slow the recovery for growing media
Sales of growing media picked up considerably after the snow but still fell way short of last year’s levels for the same week, down 51%.
That’s most likely because of soil that is still either too cold or now waterlogged.
As a result the big movers were multipurpose composts with John Innes, which will mainly be used for seed sowing and transplanting of early seedlings.
Highlights were:
- Scotts Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Premium Garden Soil was the highest re-entry.
- Westland Multi Purpose with John Innes, 60 litres, is the highest new entry this week, in at No 6.
- Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes, 56 litres, moves to No 1.
- Westland Jack’s Magic All Purpose Compost, 60 litres, moves up 2 places to No 3.
