Growing media sales still heading for record first-half
Despite the uplift last week, growing media sales for May finished 13% down year on year.
Sales in the GTN Bestsellers Top 50 Growing Media chart were however better than May in 2015 and 2014 and are still running 10% up for the year to date.
If sales continue at 10% up for all of June it will be a record first half of the year for growing activity.
The highlights this week were:
Scotts Levington Multipurpose + John Innes (56 litres) stayed on top of the chart.
Scotts Levington Organic Choice Farmyard Manure (56 litres) was the highest climber, moving up 12 places to No 13.
Westland Multipurpose + John Innes (60 litres) was the highest re-entry at No 6.
Another returning product was Westland Tomato Planter (60 litres).
