✽
The room as a breeding groundMore and more people are enjoying growing plants indoors; you can easily grow herbs and microgreens in a pot or on a mat in a bright spot. Harvest young and start again: deliciously fresh and a beautiful and healthy addition to your dishes!
Growing sprouts (without soil or a mat) requires a bit more technique. We have a simple flushing device, the Bioset, and it works fantastic, but success depends on the regularity with which you flush the seeds. The fully automatic Vitaseed Sprouting Drum, a smaller version of professional sprouting drums, is absolutely ideal for this; success is guaranteed, just take a look.

Light enoughLight is needed for indoor cultivation, I've mentioned that before. In winter, the days are short, and behind the window, you already lose 50% of the light on the other side of that window. Light ensures that your plants (for example, your freshly germinated seeds) become compact and sturdy. That's why your plants become long and thin with too little light. We have a lot of very good plant lighting in our assortment, economical and effective, just take a look.

Send-off!The past few weeks, I've been busy preparing for the next bulb season. Although I always love looking at all those beautiful tulips, daffodils, and other spring-flowering bulbs, it's always quite a lot of work! But it's done now, and I hope you can fully enjoy them from September onwards.
Additionally, last week I harvested my onions and garlic, and I'm really proud of my red onions. Normally, we never have much luck with onions in the garden, but this time it actually worked out! Now I'm letting them dry for a bit, and soon I'll be enjoying them.
This weekend, I think I'll just relax in a chair and maybe go to a swimming pool with some friends. Though I have a feeling that all of Dordrecht will be there too… So we'll see!
