Map Your Personal Gardens

Transform your physical garden into a digital blueprint to maintain a clear overview of your progress:

Custom Garden Profiles: Create multiple gardens, such as a "Backyard Plot," with dedicated names and descriptions.

Precision Bed Drawing: Use a unique point-to-point drawing tool to map the exact shape and size of your garden beds directly on your screen.

Color-Coded Organization: Assign specific colors to your beds to easily distinguish between different zones or soil types.

Bed History: Add detailed notes for each bed regarding soil conditions, fertilizers used, or specific planting dates.

Professional Crop Library & Soil Health

Understand the needs of your plants and their impact on your garden's most valuable asset—the soil:

Nitrogen Impact Tracking: Browse a comprehensive crop library categorized by families like Alliums, Brassicas, and Legumes to see if they are Exhausting, Neutral, or Enriching for your soil.

Exhausting Crops: Identify heavy feeders like Tomato, Pepper, and Broccoli that consume significant nitrogen.

Enriching Crops: Discover soil-builders like Beans, Peas, and Clover that fix nitrogen and improve ground quality.

Detailed Soil Notes: Access expert tips, such as which crops are best to plant after an "exhausting" harvest to prevent over-fertilizing.

Smart Rotation Insights

Annual Planning: Use the planning year dropdown to look ahead (from 2025 up to 2029) and strategize your future harvests.

Visual Rotation Tips: Instead of intrusive notifications, the app provides rotation insights directly on your garden map, showing you which beds need attention or a change in crop family each season.

Maximize Recovery: Easily see which areas of your garden should transition to "Enriching" crops to ensure the ground is never depleted.

Minimalist Interface: Enjoy a clean, professional aesthetic with soft tones that make planning your garden a peaceful, focused experience.
