Cold shoulder for growing media
 
It has been a tough week for growing media sales as gardeners accept that it’s now better to wait for warmer weather before embarking on any major tasks.

Sales are actually 50% below where they were in the same week of both 2011 and 2012, according to GTN Bestsellers data.

On a more positive note there are some encouraging signs with gardeners buying growing media for propagation and veg growing.
