Feeding gardening growth

 

With over a quarter more gardening going on the main beneficiaries in garden product sales are pest controls with even more pots and pot feet finding their way into garden centre customers’ trolleys.

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Evergreen Garden Care Bugclear Ultra Gun 1 litre moved 9 places up the chart to No 4.
  • Vitax Nippon Ant Powder 500g re-entered the Top 50 at No 21.
  • Woodlodge 5 inch Standard Spang Pots climbed 23 places up the chart to No 27.
