While the intention may be there to get gardening, as illustrated with the Garden Products chart, the reality is that seriously wet ground is stopping much of it happening.
Last week was another when growing media sales were down year-on-year but let’s not forget sales year- to-date are still running at nearly 6% up.
• Westland New Horizon All Plant Compost, 60 litres, moved up to No.2 in the GTN chart, the highest place for any peat-free compost in the history of GTN Bestsellers. Is this a sign of serious changes in buying habits or perhaps just a seasonal blip?
• Westland Cambark Premium Pine Nuggets, 50 litres, was the highest re-entry of the week, perhaps being used to soak up the wet, wet, wet…
• Evergreen Garden Care Levington Multipurpose with John Innes, 20 litres, was the highest chart climber, up 17 places to No.31.
