Pre-season promotions working well
 
Pre-season promotions are still working well, as demonstrated by Solus Yeoman Ratchet Secateurs (pictured right), which have retained top spot in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart for a second week.

And the warmer weather has resulted in the first shoots of the year appearing, even if it has brought on a surge of weeds. As a result there have been big sales increases of weed killers, slug controls and liquid plant feeds.
  • The highest climber is Scotts Roundup Weedkiller Gel, which has jumped 34 places to No 7.

Roundup Gel

  • Scotts Miracle-Gro Flower Magic Mixed Colours is the highest re-entry at No 12.
  • Bio Slug & Snail Killer re-enters at No 17.
  • Scotts Weedol Rootkill Plus Gun has seen a 100% increase in sales, to re-enter the chart at No 30.
Other notable re-entries include Gardman Hanging Basket Easy Liner (No 27), Yeoman Carbon Hand Trowel (No 42), and Creative Products 2 in 1 Paving Brush (No 48).

Garden lighting is another category shining brightly in the chart with Kaemingk LED Solar Stainless Steel Garden Light moving up 12 places to No 9.
