ave you ever wanted to grow your own food? Do you
worry that you’re not eating enough fruit and veg or
that your kids don’t know where their food comes
from? Did you know that kids who grow their own food are five times more likely to be healthier eaters. GIY (Grow It Yourself) have been helping people maintain a healthier, happier and more sustainable life since 2008 and their easy to use GROWBox range can help you go from seed to feed in a few simple steps.
With a GROWBox from giy.ie, you can grow 12 different vegetables in 12 weeks. It’s something you can do at home, school, work or in the wider community. The recommended growing area is a 12 square metre plot (about the size of a car parking spot). From that, you can potentially produce up to 50 kilos of veg or €400 worth of your own, delicious, home-grown vegetables.
Growing your own food is for hippies and aristocrats... is not an idea you'll ever hear me agreeing with. It's for absolutely everyone.

GIY came about when an IT salesman called Mick Kelly was shopping in his local supermarket back in 2008. Picking up a 90c bulb of garlic, he noticed it had been on an epic 5,000 mile journey from China to Dublin. That was when he had his ‘garlic bulb’ moment. He immediately set about trying to grow his own garlic in his back garden and GIY was born. Today, Mick enjoys helping people on their own journey to a more sustainable lifestyle with GIY’s courses and GROWBoxes.
TAKING ROOT IN IRELAND
For beginners, GIY's best-selling Ultimate Starter GROWBox comes with everything you need in a handy, recyclable box - all the seeds, pots, labels and instructions. When you open that first little sachet and plant the first few seeds, you’ll be hooked. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as growing your own food and the veg you grow yourself just tastes better.
FROM SEED TO FEED
A GROWBox is basically a box full of possibilities. Every packet of seeds holds the potential for fresh delicious veg on your kitchen table. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a comp-lete novice, there’s a GROWBox for you.
Each Ultimate Starter GROWBox comes with seeds, a pencil, notepad and labels, pots and trays to sew in, composts discs, seaweed feed and a ‘how to’ guide.
The rest is down to you, so get growing!

You can pretty much make your GROWBox work in any living space. From a one bedroom flat to a palatial mansion. You don’t need a garden or even a balcony. As long as you have a space that you can give over to the GROWBox and a window that lets light in, then you are good to grow!
The best place to start your seeds off is on a windowsill inside your house or apartment to start. When the seedlings get a little bigger, you can move them into bigger pots to grow them either inside or outside on your balcony, terrace, patio, vegetable patch or allotment.
