No. 15: We can again

❝

Of course... we'll grant you those hours with a good book or "couch potato-ing" in front of an exciting movie. I'm just giving you a few ideas to keep your fingers green!

The room as a breeding ground

More and more people are enjoying indoor cultivation. In a bright spot, you can easily grow herbs and microgreens in a pot or on a mat. 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 fantastically, but success depends on the regularity with which you flush the seeds. The fully automatic Vitaseed Sprout Drum, a small version of professional sprout drums, is ideal for this. Success is guaranteed, just take a look.

Light enough

Light is needed for growing indoors, I've talked about that before. In winter, the days are short, and behind a window, you already lose 50% of the light that hits the other side of that window. Light ensures that your plants (for example, your newly germinating seeds) become compact and sturdy. That's why too little light makes your plants tall and thin. We have a lot of very good plant lighting in our assortment, economical and effective, take a look.

See you off!

The past few weeks, I've been busy preparing 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 can fully enjoy them starting in September.

Additionally, last week I harvested my onions and garlic, and I am really proud of my red onions. Normally, we never really have 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 relax with 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!
