Double peak for growing media
The week starting with the Bank Holiday Monday proved to be the second peak of the year for growing media sales – up 20% on last week and 25% higher than the same week last year.

But it’s worth bearing in mind that the Bank Holiday was a week later in 2012 because of the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations.

Top soil saw the biggest percentage increase in sales with the top performers being Westland’s Value Bag (35 litres) at No 4, and Sinclair’s 20 litres, the latter jumping 14 places – the highest climber – to No 27.

Ericacious compost saw good sales increase, presumably as a result of good rhododendron and azalea sales (they’re looking good in planterias just now).
