Growing activity continues to build as we move towards the last Bank Holiday weekend of the spring. In previous years GTN Bestsellers data has shown peak sales of growing media have occurred around the Whitsun Bank Holiday and with the continued increased veg plant sales activity and good weather forecast there’s every chance this year could be no exception.

Star growing media performers this week include:

• Westland’s Jack’s Magic All Purpose Compost sees big sales increases this week – the 60-litre pack moves up nine places to No 4 and the 40-litre pack is a new entry at No 19.
• Scotts Levington Multipurpose with John Innes, 56 litres, continues at No 1.
• As less committed gardeners get active, sales of smaller compost bags are on the up.  Westland Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost, 25 litres, sees a 155% increase to re-enter at No 41.
