Orchids win the battle against tomatoes



After last week’s tie at the top, orchid drip feeders have re-established themselves as the outright No 1 bestselling garden product. Fito Drip Feeder for Orchids beat off the challenge of Scotts Levington Tomorite after the pair finished joint top the previous week – it was the first time two products had sold the exact same volumes at the summit of the GTN Bestsellers chart.

There are five other orchid-related items in this week’s Top 50, including a new entry for Vitax Orchid Drip Feeder and a re-entry for Gardman Orchid Drip Feeders (pack of four). Growth Technology Orchid Myst is also highly placed inside the Top 10.

Work on autumn lawn care is starting in earnest with the highest climber being Westland Lawn & Turf Dressing (25 litres), which has jumped an amazing 40 places.

Other notable performances include:

  • Scotts Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food is the highest re-entry.
  • Gardman Ladies Work Glove Set (Twin Pack) makes its first appearance as this week’s highest new entry.
  • Gardman have seven garden lighting items in the chart, headed by Solar Spot Lights. The company’s Solar Rock Spot Light is a re-entry.
  • Woodlodge Pot Feet (large) returns after a 100% increase in sales.

And gardeners are starting to think about autumn bulb planting with the Yeoman Hand Held Bulb Planter selling in high numbers.
