Buy a vegetable garden box: create your own green oasis

Do you want to grow your own vegetables, herbs or flowers but have limited space? Then buying an easy vegetable garden box is the ideal solution. A good box offers overview, ease and comfort, even on a balcony or terrace. Whether you work sitting, standing or without a garden: with a quality box you get more out of your cultivation.

What is a vegetable garden box?

A vegetable garden box is a raised box made of wood, plastic or metal, which you fill with soil and compost. By the natural separation of the soil you avoid plants in polluted soil and you choose your own soil quality.

Benefits of an easy vegetable garden box

• Early start to the season: the walls allow the soil to warm up faster, allowing you to sow earlier in the spring.
• Good drainage: excess water can drain away quickly, which prevents root rot.
• Less weeds: a defined environment ensures clearer management.
• Comfortable gardening: work without bending over, better for your back and knees.
• Manageable space: useful in small gardens, city gardens or on patios.
• Protection against pollution: your plants grow in clean, controlled soil.

What should you pay attention to when making your purchase?

1. Material: Choose rot-resistant wood, such as Douglas fir, or recyclable plastic.
2. Depth: choose at least 30–60 cm for greater root reach.
3. Width: Around 100–120 cm is ideal for accessibility.
4. Location: Choose a spot with at least six hours of sun and good access to water.
5. Filling: Start with drainage material and then fill with compost and potting soil for optimal growth.

How do you fill your vegetable garden box?

1. Cover the bottom with drainage material.
2. Place a layer of compost of 10 – 20 cm.
3. Fill with potting soil or garden soil.
4. Sow or plant as soon as temperatures permit.
5. Add mulch to retain moisture.
6. Add compost annually for fertile soil.

Maintenance tips

• Check the humidity regularly during warm periods.
• Vary crops annually to prevent disease.
• Avoid walking on the soil in the container to prevent compaction.
• Use snail protection or elevated position to keep out unwanted eaters.

Who is a vegetable garden box suitable for?

• People with limited mobility or back problems
• City dwellers with outdoor space, balcony or terrace
• Families who see gardening as an educational project
• Organic gardeners with a focus on soil health
