Packs of top soil and bark saw the biggest increases last week as sales continued at a good level prior to the snow and cold winds arriving.
Sales up 20% on last year for the first 8 weeks of the year were a great omen for spring gardening activity but we will all be waiting to see if that momentum can be picked up when the thaw arrives.
Highlights were:
Westland Top Soil (Value Bag), 35 litres, climbed to No 7 on the back of a 182% sales increase.
Scotts Levington Bark Bale, 100 litres, was the highest re-entry at No 26.
Westland Landscape Bark, 100 litres, was the highest chart climber, up 29 places to No 14.
