Add colour – get growing
 

Growing activity picked up for the first week of October showing us that there is still plenty of interest in getting out and preparing the garden for next year  and as can be seen from our plants chart adding colour to the garden for autumn and winter. Volume sales for Growing Media increased by almost 23%

  • All of the Top five bestselling lines increased their sales week on week, with Westland’s New Horizon All Plant Compost 60 litres increasing sales by 188%.
  • The popularity of small bags of compost, perhaps bought to fill pots as opposed to adding to beds and borders, is emphasised by a 210% increase for Evergreen Garden Care’s Miracle-Gro All Purpose Compost, 40litres.
  • After rose sales increased by 120% this week (see the GTN Plants Chart) it’s good to see that Westland Gro-Sure Rose, Tree & Shrub Compost & 4 Month Feed, 50 litres, was the highest re-entry at No 32.
