Gardeners starting to buy frost-protection products
 

There is evidence in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart that gardeners are starting to think about the winter ahead – maybe it was the recent wind and rain that prompted sales of weather-related items.

The Gardman Tap Cover was the highest climber, moving up 14 places to No 6, while their Frostgard 8m x 1.5m roll maintained a healthy position at No 4.

The Bubble Insulation Small, 30m x 0.75m, with clips is a re-entry into the Top 50 bestsellers.

At the very top of the chart Gardman Solar Spot Lights have grabbed No 1 position from Solus Yeoman Professional Bypass Secateurs, which slip to No 3.

Yeoman, however, have won this week’s highest re-entry accolade with their Soft Grip Secateurs while the highest new entry goes to Town & Country Master Gardener Pink Gloves (Small).

Orchid products have also been selling well with 10 lines in the Top 50. Growth Technology had a particularly good week.
