Growbag sales on the increase
 

Growbags were the lines that increased sales last week despite most other growing media lines cooling off after the Mother’s Day weekend.

 

As with garden products this suggests there is plenty of good linked sales activity going on to ensure planters are bought with young plants.


Highlights were:

  • Evergreen Garden Care’s Levington Original Gro-bag increased sales and moved up from No 16 to No 3 in the GTN Bestsellers Growing Media Chart.
  • Westland’s 60 litre Tomato Planter climbed eight places to No 17.
  • Glee New Product Award winning Bloomin Amazing Soil Enricher, 70 litres, re-enterd the Top 50 at No 48.
  • Westland Gro-Sure Lawn Seeding Soi, 30 litres, was the highest re-entry at No 34.
