December gardening activity at all-time high

There’s a third more gardening activity going on at the start of December 2019 than last year or any of the previous five years. Sure, the total volumes are much lower than during the spring, however, keeping keen gardeners satisfied in the run up to Christmas has to be good for returning business in January and February.


Highlights of the week were:

  • Evergreen Garden Care Levington Organic Blend Farm Manure, 50 litres was a new entry at No 2.
  • Evergreen Garden Care Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Premium Garden Soil, 25 litres climbed 33 places up the GTN Chart to No 5.
  • With terrariums being fashionable it’s good to see Fallen Fruits Terrarium Soil a re-entry at No 40.
