Unsurprisingly the nasty weather from Storm Dennis had a menacing effect on sales of growing media. Sales dropped 37% week on week and were 58% down on last year.
We’ll need some serious periods of dry weather soon to enable our customers to get out on their plots. In the meantime selling plants in pots is a good way to keep growing media sales moving.
Highlights of the week were:
Westland Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost 10 litres moved 29 places up the GTN Chart to No 12.
Evergreen Garden Care Levington Essential Multi Purpose 50 litres continued at No 1 even though sales dropped by 44%
Westland Ericaceous Planting & Repotting Compost 60 litres was a new entry at No 29.
