Early Birds and better weather send growing media sales crazy
Early Bird offers may have come to the party later than normal this year but now combined with the first spell of reasonable weather since Christmas sales went crazy last week.
The 451% increase week on week put sales up by 53% on the same week last year and reduced the year to date deficit to less than 50%.
At this rate we’ll be reporting year to date sales ahead of last year by the end of March we expect. Well done to every centre that has got their growing media stocks in early.
Highlights of the week were:
Evergreen Garden Care Levington Essentials Multi Purpose Compost 50L comes back in at No 1 on the back of Early Bird offers.
Godwins Premium Multi Purpose Compost 50L is a new entry at No 2.
Westland Multipurpose Compost with John Innes 50L moves up one place to No 3.
