Getting ready for the new season
How do you freshen up last year's garden boxes?
Start with a quick clean up
Dan haal je alle oude planten uit de mix en gooi je ze op je composthoop. Kleine worteltjes laat je gewoon zitten, grote wortels haal je weg.
Got perennials or biennial plants that you want to keep? Carefully scoop them out with a big clod of the soil mix around the roots. Set aside until your garden box is ready again.
Refresh your soil mix
Bij mini's en airbakken doe je hetzelfde
Als je een kruiwagen of een grote teil hebt, dan kun je de mix uit de mini's ook eerst daarin gooien en dan bewerken. Dat vind ik zelf wel prettig. Zo nodig kan ik de mini's dan meteen schoonmaken.
Gelukkig is het materiaal goed schoon te maken:
Tijdens het seizoen haal je de vieze plekken makkelijk weg met een sponsje en wat ossegalzeep.
Aan het begin van een nieuw seizoen, kun je vieze mini’s prima wassen.
Refreshing the soil mix for perennials
Once the garden box is as tidy as it can get, add some fresh MM-Mix. Just enough around the base of the plants so the box is full again.
Also add some fresh MM-Plantfood: about 50 ml or 3 tbsp per square patch.
That's it
But really, it's exciting. You'll start fresh and be ready to sow in no time.
Have fun with it!
PS: Do you make your own compost?
If you have any doubts, add 30 ml or 2 tbsp of MM-Plantfood per square patch. If you notice during the season that your plants are not growing enough, you can add more.
But to really keep the MM-Mix in balance, you'll need to add some more after a while.
