Starting in March: make the most of the whole season
With spring just around the corner, March is a great time to start a Makkelijke Moestuin. Even when it's still quite cold, you can already sow plenty of vegetables.
You can start any time from February to November
It doesn't matter too much exactly when you start. When you set up a Makkelijke Moestuin now, you're also getting it ready for next year. And the years after that.
You only need to set up a raised bed once. After that, you can enjoy it season after season, year after year.
