ACTIVEARTH is a truly organic soil fertiliser that behaves like a spark plug for the garden, switching on and boosting the natural elements present in the soil that will help it recover. Activearth began life in France, helping corn, rape seed and potatoes grow in heavy soils being impacted by tough climactic changes. Bio8 added a microbiological fungus, developed in the US, to the pellets to supercharge them. This unique strain of bacteria (no-one else has access to these bacteria) means Activearth is now an effective probiotic, improving worm activity and soil texture in flower beds and vegetable plots here in the UK. Tests by six independent laboratories, including Bioemco, Proefcentrum voor de Groenteteelt and the French Public Works Research Laboratory, show increases in visible fauna and earthworm activity by 55.5 percent. Activearth breaks down clay-based soils to humus/loam by more than 30 percent.

BULLITT GROUP, the global licensee for Cat phones, has announced that the Cat S42 has been enhanced by advanced antimicrobial product protection, making it the first anti-bacterial phone. Every exterior component of the product has been treated with Biomaster antimicrobial technology and tested to ISO 22196. Based on the inclusion of silver ions during manufacturing, the process creates a permanent level of product protection, inhibiting the growth of microbes on the phone surface and therefore reducing microbial levels on the surface.

The world of garden rakes has welcomed a new ‘face’ in the shape of the CLEAR ‘N’ COLLECT team. This new concept in garden rakes has been designed to simplify the task of collecting garden debris whilst also minimising the need to bend. Additionally, the range is helping to reduce reliance on virgin plastic material, instead utilising recycled car dashboards and waste electrical goods to create a truly unique material which will spark conversation amongst end-users and within the retail environment. The UK-invented and manufactured Clear ‘N’ Collect Multi-Purpose Garden Rake comprises a large hinged rake with large internal ‘scoop’ so that leaves and garden debris can be raked and scooped in one swift and easy motion. This ability to complete three jobs (rake, collection and depositing) not only reduces worktime, but reduces the reliance on multiple products, whilst also minimising excessive bending and lifting, making it the perfect choice for all amateur and professional gardeners, and particularly those who suffer from ongoing back complaints. Since its launch in early 2019 the Clear ‘N’ Collect offering has already been stocked within 29 stockists, including Longacres and Squires, and is also supplied by Stax and Decco. Now, the team is looking to further expand this network of stockists as autumn tidy-ups and spring cleans become the order of the day for gardeners.
Each Clear ‘N’ Collect rake is offered with a recommended retail price of £22.99 and is supported with dedicated point of sale which outlines the products USPs to consumers. Each display unit can house up to 20 rakes, providing retailers with a 40 percent profit margin within a footprint of just 0.4m2, with further discounts available on volume orders. This small footprint makes the Clear ‘N’ Collect offering ideal for co-locating around the store to drive seasonal and gifting sales, or as an add-on sales opportunity when placed near gloves, or grow-your-own essentials for example. n 07766 073183 n
