Step 1
Lay the planks on the ground with the shorter side up.
Secure the 4 planks together with the bolts and nuts.
To do this, first insert the bolts from bottom to top, put the washer on, and then screw on the nut. Tighten it by hand, not too tightly yet.
It's easiest if you screw the corner pieces onto the 2 (long) side planks first. Align the legs well on the corners of the board:

Place the container upright on a flat surface. Make sure the corners are as close together as possible.
Now tighten the bolts. First, do this as far as possible by hand and then tighten them further with a wrench a quarter turn. It does not have to be any tighter.
Do not tighten them with a drill. Once they're tightened, there's no going back.

Step 3
Find a good spot for your vegetable garden box.
You need a sunny area that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight. You can read more here about how to choose the best spot.

Place your weed mat on the bottom of the garden box. Fold the edges up a bit if needed.
Adding a trellis (MM-Klimrek) to your vegetable garden box? Then add the trellis to the northern side of your box. This way your tall climbing plants won't overshadow your other vegetables.

Step 4
Fill your garden box with MM-Mix.
Make the soil mix damp - but not soaking wet - and loosen it up with a garden spade.
The soil mix is so good, you don't need to replace it. If it gets more compact over time, you can top it off with more mix. To keep it rich in nutrients, you'll add some MM-Plantfood once in a while. The app will tell you when to give it this extra boost.

Step 6
Lay the grid loosely on top of the soil mix. Add your logo clip to the side for the finishing touch.
Tadaa
Now your garden is ready for sowing and planting.
Have fun!
