How it works

Instead of in the open ground, we garden in containers. 

Why?

  • It's less work
  • Nice and clear
  • It looks nice
  • You can use and reuse the successful Easy Vegetable Garden Mix.

What do you need:

  1. A bin
  2. A grid for boxes of 30x30cm
  3. Easy Vegetable Garden Mix
  4. Seeds
  5. tags
  1. A container with a rim of about 20 cm high, which can be divided into sections of 30x30 cm. The container can be anything, from an MM-mini to an MM-Bamboo on legs. But making something from another store or making something yourself is also fine. Choose something that suits you.
  2. Easy Vegetable Garden Mix . No, certainly not any other vegetable garden soil: MM's is really by far the best. For a bin of 120x120 you need 7 bags of 40L.
  3. A grid to divide the box into 30x30 sections. (This grid is supplied with many containers. Please note that these are sections of 30x30 cm, otherwise it will not fit with the Easy Vegetable Garden sowing system. 
  4. Seeds for the plants you want to grow. 
  5. Labels to add what's in your box. Because even if you think you remember that, unfortunately that is usually not the case. ;-)

If you want plants that climb, such as beans or cucumber, you also need a climbing frame .

Some plants such as tomato or cucumber must first be sown indoors. Then I recommend using vermiculite and air pots . The chance of success is then many times greater. Don't forget to label those pots, because the seedlings of cucumber, zucchini and baby pumpkin are difficult to distinguish.

And that's about it. There are also many other great products to expand your vegetable garden or to make it even more fun and easier. But you don't have to start with that.

How further?

If you have no idea how to start now, then the Easy Vegetable Garden App is definitely something for you. It guides you step by step through everything you need to do, from filling the bin to harvesting.

Don't feel like an app? Then buy the Easy Vegetable Garden book . It's all in there too. The book contains concise and clear explanations and there are lots of pictures in it.
