  • Doff Affordable Excellence Tomato Feed 400ml + 20% Free was just behind at No 2.
  • Growth Technology Orchid Myst 300ml was the highest chart mover of the week, up eleven places to No 12.
  • Smart Solar’s Stella Stake Light was the highest new entry at No 3.
  • There were two new pot entries from Mims in this week’s chart. Mims Hobnail Patio Pot S2 in at No 15 and Mims Hobnail Patio Pot S1 at No 17.
