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.
