The full Makkelijke Moestuin guide
1. Makkelijke Moestuin vs traditional vegetable garden
Giving each plant enough light, air, water, space, nutrients, and attention is pretty tricky. Not in a Makkelijke Moestuin: there, it happens all by itself.
2. About us
Why Jelle started Makkelijke Moestuin, how it grew into a movement, and why we work differently from most companies.
3. The garden box
The garden box is the heart of the Makkelijke Moestuin system. Its smart setup gives your plants almost everything they need from the start.
4. The soil mix
In the Makkelijke Moestuin, you don’t use your own soil but a special veggie garden mix. All your plants do well in that mix.
5. The water reservoir
Why a smart water reservoir helps your plants grow better while saving you time and effort: how it works, and how and when to water.
6. Het zaaisysteem
In een Makkelijke Moestuin zaai je niet in rijtjes, maar in vierkante vakken van 30x30 cm. Meteen op de juiste plek en met de juiste afstand van elkaar.

Seeing something odd in or on your Planty Garden box?
Moss on the mix, mold in a bag of MM-Mix, mushrooms between your plants, or roots in the water reservoir?
Do not panic. Most of the time it is nothing to worry about. It is often just part of gardening with living mix, moisture, compost, and plants doing their thing.
But it makes total sense to check what is going on.
