  1. Thank you! Great idea! I had tried another planning guide but it was so connected them trying to sell me thingโ€™s constantly, I got discouraged with it. Can I sync it with my iMac? If so, how? We donโ€™t really use apps on the iMac

  2. Honestly i was struggling with my planing this year and was looking for a better way…………..so i downloaded the app! I will play with the free version for now and if it works then i will upgrade. Thanks for dragging a boomer along on your journey.

  3. Does the app allow succession planting in needs over a season? I'm thinking of getting the lifetime premium account. But before I invest, is like to see if this is a feature it has.

  4. I have had the free version of this app for over a year. I had no idea that I could add different varieties. You convinced me to sign up for the lifetime subscription. Thanks Gardener Scott! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  5. I just found a foliar spray that's essentially free.
    Grind up egg shells, heat @150ยฐF 10-15 minutes.
    If you can grind to a fine texture. Put in fairly large container, just a small amount 1/2 cup of shells and add equal amount of vinegar.
    It definitely will create a foam, hence the large container.
    The vinegar+egg shells make calcium water soluble.
    DILUTE this after the process is finished 1000 parts water to 1 part calcium.
    Or just water the garden. The spray should be done about a week before flowering starts.
    Second way is much the same, but feed the shell bits to chickens. You could add biochar to the grit bowl for chickens and cut down on some of the problems chickens can get.

  6. I love the free version, but with the benefits you just showed us I couldnโ€™t pass up a subscription! Be sure to click the link in the description as you wonโ€™t be able to get the discount by going straight to the app!!!

  8. I tried this, and it just didn't feel worth it to me unfortunately. If it reminded me when to fertilize/water and it allowed me to account for sowing for a fall/winter garden, I'd consider trying it again. Right now I can just so what it does on paper.

  9. If you buy the annual can you separate year to year? Also I clicked on the annual option but didn't see where I could put in the promo code so I'm waiting until I can figure itout. Tips?

  10. Thanks for another informative video I've been using a planning app since 2015, and find it very helpful both for each year and copying/planning year over year. Plus it gives me something do to in Feb when there's snow on the ground and I'm entertaining myself with seed catalogs…

  11. It would be great to be able incorporate user watering times and rates. As well as soil pH values, sunlight times, harvest values, etcโ€ฆI think that info being used by the developer would be invaluable to the garden community as it will help guide others to get the most effective harvest based on environmental conditions. Somebody in another area, but with similar sun and water might determine they need to amend their soil more with a certain nutrient. Very exciting app nonetheless!

  12. I'm a pencil to paper type of person (and an artist) so I enjoy drawing my garden out each year and all the flower beds surrounding it. I have a big thick journal and each year I re-draw my garden and write down where each plant is planted. Along the way I draw pictures of the different flowers and plants, any interesting bugs I come across and even my chickens, cows, etc. When I get to the end of this journal I will buy another and have this one on my bookshelf. I also prefer to go out into my garden without my phone, for peace of mind and time to myself. But to each their own and that's what makes the world interesting, isn't it.
