Our ultimate starter selection to get your GIY journey really started
This is our ultimate starter GROWBox for the beginner GIYer who really wants to get stuck in. This is a box full of possibility – imagine yourself tucking in to bountiful tomatoes, nutritious beetroot, crunchy carrots, sweet garden peas and delicious oriental salad leaves. But before you get there, you’ve got to grow them.
What’s in the GROWBox?
Where to grow them:
You might have a 2 acre field, or a tiny apartment, a suburban back garden or allotment. Most veg (with the exception of the carrots) benefit from being started off in a smaller pot or tray and then transplanted when they get a little bigger. We recommend sowing the seeds on a windowsill inside your house or apartment to start. When the seedlings get a little bigger, we will be moving them in to bigger pots to grow them either inside or outside on your balcony, terrace, patio or veg patch.
