I have all my plants mapped out by square. Instead of doing the research into which plants like and dislike being near each other (this app provides the info if desired), I ended up putting plants where I wanted them and moved them if a red spot showed up between two plants. Easy. A green spot means they benefit each other. No spot means they don’t help or hurt each other. The app doesn’t let you plant things too close to each other. Tomatoes need 4 squares for one plant. Radishes can be planted 16 per square foot square. The veggies even change color/shape sometimes when you select another variety.
LOVE THIS APP! We have been using graph paper and pencil for years and having to keep in mind the companion plants, and spacing needs. Too much work. Now, this app does it for us. Our 11 x 4 foot raised garden bed (24 inches high) is ready for what we have planned. Love the information given and the choices that include not only veggies, but my fruit bushes and flowers. I’ve been able to involve the kids in the planning and decision making in a modality that they love - my iPad! They are actually reading all of the descriptions provided on the individual page! And, being a teacher, I love that. We are very excited to begin our planting this spring. Thank you.P.s. hoping you can add green beans vs. yellow beans, and summer squash vs. zucchini so that the kids can SEE the difference on their garden planner. We are on the ‘visual’ side of the learning curve.
I started using this app to plan out my garden as a novice. At first, I just wanted an app to help me remember what I planted where (I didn’t have fancy signs or even stakes handy to label anything!) Then I found this app which goes beyond simple mapping with the companion/combative plant feature, telling you what plants like and dislike each other as neighbors. Wow! I went ahead and upgraded, not because I really need the features (the basic app has all I need as a beginner with a single 10’ x 10’ plot) but to support the app so it can continue to exist and improve.I mentioned the app to my mom who is an expert gardener and sometimes struggles with technology. I thought she might find it interesting, but didn’t expect her to use and enjoy the app as much as I do! She even learned a few plant relationships herself, which is amazing considering her encyclopedic knowledge. It is a testament to this app’s intuitiveness and reliability that a less tech-savvy person like my mom was able to master it and get so much value from it.
I’m excited to use this app this year as I get set up with a new garden. However, there are a few things that would be really helpful and would make this app better. First, it would be nice if it gave spacial recommendations. For example, plant broccoli 18”-24” apart. I have to keep jumping over to google. Second, if you do have a plant that takes up more space than “1 square” I wish you could manually adjust the squares. So I could combine 2-3 squares and put 1 broccoli to better show how my plants are spaced. Side note, are the squares supposed to be “1 square foot?” As I said, I still think this app will be really helpful, and I did pay for the year to see how it goes. If these features were added with continued improvements, I’d probably be a forever customer.
I like the relative simplicity of using this app. I especially like being able to drag and drop plants into a grid of my planting area to see how much room the need and also which plants do or do not get along with each other.One thing I’d like to see added is the germination time for seeds.Also, there is a glitch that allows some plants to appear implantable, which is ridiculous, of course. Yet, for some plants, the app indicates that most gardeners do not 1. start the plant indoors, 2. start the plant from transplants, or 3. start the plant by direct sowing. Those are all the possibilities, yet this app provides no guidance for any of those methods for certain plants. (I submitted a bug report, but never heard back, and the last time I checked, it hadn’t been fixed.)
I wanted an all-in-once place guide that would tell me how many plants I could plant per square, when you start seeds vs when to speak, and which ones to avoid planting next to each other. This is that app! And, after playing with it for about 20 minutes, I knew I wanted to pay for the full year subscription. Would be nice to have some features but, based on other reviews, the developer seems responsive and open to ideas, so I’ll be making some suggestions and cannot wait to see how it will be even more awesome than it already is.
I bought the lifetime license for $10. It’s a decent app for a small garden. I have used territorial seed garden planner for years, but it’s about $20/ year. I’m trying SFG this year so I thought I would try it. The free version only lets you create one bed, so I upgraded. I like that you can customize your specific varieties of vegetables and it is easy to set up. The icons and photos are pretty. I am curious if I can include plant labels in my plan. (For different varieties)The buttons are a bit finicky. Single tap a veggie to get details, long tap to plant it. (I found that I was always accidentally tapping the information instead of planting). Annoying. It could easily be reversed. Single tap to plant, long tap for information. Or just make it separate features. I also had to select the “tap to plant “ feature over and over. I wish it would stay on until I turned it off. I found deleting and moving veggies to be finicky too. It’s a drag and drop, but getting it in the exact spot was a challenge. Sometimes I had to attempt to delete an item multiple times. This feature needs some more development, in my opinion. So, it’s a good app. Not amazing, but it’s good enough for what I need (which was mostly plant spacing and figuring out the plants are beneficial to one another.) I’m hoping that since I bought the license I will benefit from upgrades.
I should probably be getting a commission for all the people I have recommended this app too! It has all the information in one spot that previously I had to go to about 10 websites for. I’m giving it five stars because it is great but I’m hoping that the creator sees some recommendations that would make this perfect:1) allow us to have a half square in our gardens. My bed is 2 1/2 by 12 feet. And it’s not a big deal to just know that I actually have two lettuce in the front row and not the 4 it actually shows but it would be nice for OCD people like me if it was correct 😬2) Allow us to manually override your recommended squares per plant. For instance, you recommend four square feet per tomato plant. I usually only have one square per tomato so I had to put in a red raspberry in place of my tomatoes 😂3) again, this is for the OCD people like me! I try to add petunias and added a picture but I cannot for the life of me delete the background! I usually don’t have any problem with that and use a transparent PNG file but it’s not working. Despite the lack of absolute perfection, I highly recommend this app!
I love this app! I’ve been using it to plan my first garden at our new house. I love that it is very visual by showing images of the plants and also that it helps you pick plants that work well together and avoid plants that are combative towards each other. I would 100% pay for this app if it also offered height of plants when mature as well as a solar map to help plan so the taller plants are further north and the shorter plants further south so the short plants don’t get blocked out by the shade of the tall plants. Another awesome feature would be an auto- fill garden where you pick what you want to plant and it automatically lays the garden out for you accounting crop relationships, plant heights, & so on.Overall great app! Thank you so much for creating it!
Beautiful app. Would be an excellent app for a complete beginner. However, it’s severely lacking and not usable for more advanced gardeners who grow multiple varieties of the same plant because there’s no label. For companion planting, you wouldn’t use a whole square foot for a marigold for example. It would be planted in the same square foot as a vegetable. Same with root vegetables like carrots. So the app should allow overlapping or multiple plants in the same grid. There’s no month by month planning for spring crop, summer crop, and fall crop for the same spot. I currently pay $29/year to use Growveg and would gladly switch to this app when it’s able to plan month by month and keep track of previous years for crop rotation. Mainly because Growveg is a desktop application and I want something more mobile.
