Limited time — 25% off every sizeA year of seeds in your spring box
Our signature corrugated metal planters. Deep enough for root vegetables, stylish enough for your patio, tough enough for British weather.
We kept getting told our allotments were in people's "back yards" — so we thought, why not bring the growing to their actual back yard? Hence, the YIMBY. No council waiting lists. No planning permission. Just grow.

Everything you need, in one box
No trips to the garden centre. No guesswork. Just unbox, assemble, plant.
About the £30 quarterly box
A year of seeds in box one. Then one essential every quarter.
You're not buying a planter — you're buying a year-round growing system. Your spring box brings the full year's seeds, then each quarter rotates in the next essential to keep your bed productive all year.
01
A full year of seeds in box one.
Your first spring box arrives loaded with 25+ Roots seed packets — peas, lettuces, tomatoes, beans, garlic, the lot. Enough to sow across all four seasons. Next year's seeds land in your spring box again.
02
One growing essential, every quarter after.
Boxes 2, 3 and 4 rotate the other essentials — compost top-up, organic feed, plug plants, a seasonal tool. Everything paced through the year so nothing goes to waste.
03
Less than one supermarket shop.
£30/qtr is £120/year for produce that would cost £600+ at Waitrose. Half our growers earn their YIMBY back inside one season.

The honest comparisonYes, you can buy a £30 bed.
Yes, you can buy a £30 bed.
Here's why ours pays off.
We've nothing against a bargain — but a planter that rusts out in a season isn't one. Side-by-side, here's what your money actually buys.
The hidden cost of cheap planters.
Cheap metal beds rust within months and have no drainage — so plants drown or starve. £30 × three replacements = £90 with nothing left in the soil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the YIMBY and your subscription.
Yes — and it's the reason the YIMBY works. Without a year of seeds, compost top-ups and feed, even the best raised bed sits empty by July. £30/quarter (£120/year) gets you 25+ seed packets in your spring box (your full year's worth), then organic seaweed feed, peat-free compost, plug herbs and seasonal tools across the other three boxes — for produce that would cost £600+ at Waitrose. Pause, skip or cancel anytime.
Your YIMBY planter ships with your first quarterly box on 20 March 2026: 25+ Roots seed packets covering your full year's sowing, premium peat-free compost, organic seaweed fertiliser, 4 Andy Grows Herbs plug plants, the season's tools, and permaculture guide cards. Boxes 2, 3 and 4 then rotate the seasonal essentials — and next spring your seeds land again.
No. YIMBYs are designed for any solid surface that gets sunlight — balcony, patio, doorstep, paved yard. The smaller sizes work in 60×60cm of space; the larger ones turn a back yard into a real allotment.
About 10 minutes. The corrugated steel panels click together — no tools required. Two people make it easier on the bigger sizes.
Almost everything you'd grow on an allotment: salad leaves, kale, chard, beetroot, carrots, courgettes, garlic, broad beans, peas, tomatoes, herbs. 30cm is the sweet spot — deep enough for roots, shallow enough to warm up early.
Yes. 1.2mm powder-coated steel, UV-resistant finish, built-in drainage. Tested through British winters. The raised design also helps soil warm up faster in spring.
That's what the coaching is for. 150+ video lessons from Charles Dowding, Mitch Grows, Ed Roots and Kate Four Acres, plus a Slack-style community of 12,000+ growers ready to diagnose any problem from a photo. And we have a 30-day money-back guarantee on the planter — see our reviews on Trustpilot.
