Mila van der Linden ❞Of course... we're happy for you to spend those hours with a good book or "couch surfing" watching an exciting movie. I'm just giving you a few ideas to keep your fingers green!
✽
The room as a breeding groundMore and more people are enjoying growing indoors; you can easily cultivate herbs and microgreens in a pot or on a mat in a bright spot. Harvest young and start again: wonderfully fresh and a beautiful and healthy addition to your dishes!
Growing sprouts (i.e., without soil or a mat) requires a bit more technique. We have a simple rinsing device, the Bioset, and it works fantastic, but success depends on the regularity with which you rinse the seeds. The fully automatic Vitaseed Sprouting Drum is ideal for this, a small version of professional sprouting drums, success guaranteed, just take a look.
✽
Light enoughFor indoor cultivation, light is essential, as I've mentioned before. In winter, the days are short, and behind a 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) grow compact and sturdy. That's why too little light makes your plants tall and thin. We have a wide range of very good plant lights in our assortment, economical and effective, take a look.

Farewell!The past few weeks, I've been busy with preparations for the next bulb season. While 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'll be able to 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 really have luck with onions in the garden, but this time it actually worked! Now I'm letting them dry a bit, and soon I'll be able to enjoy them.
This weekend, I think I'll just lie on a fan and maybe go to a swimming pool with some friends. Although I have a feeling that all of Dordrecht will be there too… So we'll see!
