Wild Bird Care was the only sector of the GTN Bestsellers charts that saw growth on last year, both for last week and the year to date.
Whilst Gardman feed lines continue to dominate the chart with 37 lines out of the Top 50, two Chapelwood Feeder lines from Smart Garden have muscled their way into the Top 10 this week.
Highlights were:
Smart Chapelwood Heavy Duty Seed Feeder Medium is the highest new entry at No. 3
Gardman Seed Mix 2kg is the highest re-entry at No 9.
Gardman Sunflower Hearts 2kg + 25% Extra climbed 31 places up the chart to No 19.
Veg-2-Gro chart footnote Just as plant sales stalled, so did Veg-2-Gro sales. Even seed potato and onion set sales were significantly down on the first week of February last year.
Highlights were:
Red Baron onion sets continue to be the most popular veg for planting just now. Taylors Red Baron is No 1 again and Kapiteyn Red Baron moved up eight places to No 6.
Taylors Seed Potatoes Taster Pack Pentland Javelin are the highest placed seed potato, up 18 places to No 7.
Taylors Seed Potatoes Desiree, 2.5kg, are the highest re-entry at No 9.
