Feed, weed and support products selling well
 
Plant feeds, weed control and plant supports all increased sales last week as the warmer, wetter and windy weather helped to get plants growing fast.

This week’s highlights were:
  • The biggest percentage sales increase went to Westland Gro-Sure All Purpose Plant Food, up by over 500%.  
  • Westland Gro-Sure Super Enriched Tomato Feed was also the highest new entry.
  • Weedol products were the fastest growing weed controls and 90cm Gardman bamboo cane sales shot up by 62%.
