The next step is filling your square foot garden with soil. You can use any type of soil mix, but Bartholomew uses a mixture of equal parts peatmoss, vermiculite and compost.<br \/>\nYou can use the following calculation to find out how much soil you\u2019ll actually need:<\/p>\n<p>Length (m) x width (m) x height (m) = volume (m<sup>3<\/sup>)<br \/>\n1,20 x 1,20 x 0,20 = 0,288m<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>1 m<sup>3 <\/sup>equals 1000L, so 0,288m<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;equals 288L of soil. Taking soil settling into account, it\u2019s recommended to get about 30% extra soil. So. in total about 375L of soil would be perfect!<\/p>\n<h4>NUTRITION<\/h4>\n<p>Obviously your plant will need some food to grow properly! We like to use our All-in-one Pellets. These pellets contain a complete organic nutrient profile and they break down in the soil in about two to three months. After a month or two you can sprinkle some more All-in-one Pellets over your soil. These will than break down slowly when you water your garden.<\/p>\n<p>Using just the pellets will go a long way, but if you want to go the extra mile you can consider adding Aptus Regulator &amp; Startbooster.<\/p>\n<h4>PLANNING<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s best not to grow the same crop in the same spot two years in a row. Crop rotation is the secret weapon in preventing disease and ensuring healthy vegetables. With a proper cultivation plan you divide the vegetable garden into various plots. Stay tuned to learn more about planning and crop rotation!<br \/>\nLike our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AptusHolland\/\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aptusholland\/\">Instagram<\/a> to follow all of our updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is the season of hot cocoa by the fireplace and preparing for the new growing season.
