✽
The room as a breeding groundMore and more people are enjoying indoor cultivation. You can easily grow herbs and microgreens in a pot or on a mat in a bright spot. Harvest young and start again: wonderfully fresh and a beautiful, 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 Germination Drum is ideal for this – a small version of professional germination drums, guaranteed success, just take a look.
✽
Light enoughLight is needed for indoor cultivation, 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 newly 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.

Waving goodbye!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 a lot of work! But it's done now, and I hope you can fully enjoy them starting in September.
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, and soon I'll be enjoying 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!
