The Almanac
No. 01 · The drawing
Not everyone gardens in rectangles. Tap out your bed’s real outline on metre grid paper, a numbered pin at each corner, square corners that snap straight, tape-measure lengths typed in edge by edge. We work out the true area and draw the real shape, every plant to the centimetre, in every bed visual.
Bed 1, Spring kitchen garden
1.2 m × 2.4 m · Temperate · Full sun
Spring · Wk 38
Spacing is yours to call, too. Intensive, Standard, or Generous when you add each crop, or an exact centimetre figure, and the how-many-fit maths follows your call, not the seed packet.
See how the spacing maths worksNo. 02 · Your patch
Five Australian climate zones. Every planting date, frost window, and watering schedule shifts with yours, from postcode 0800 (Darwin) to 7000 (Hobart).
No. 03 · Good neighbours
Basil flanks the tomatoes. Marigolds edge the brassicas. Nasturtiums keep the aphids off. We place them for you, and won’t pair onions with peas no matter how pretty it looks.
The full matrixNo. 04
Four in the family? You need seven tomato plants and two-point-eight square metres. We run the ABS consumption figures against your beds and tell you before you plant too little.
No. 05 · The nudge
“Time to sow your second batch of lettuce.” Simple emails when they matter. Nothing else.
No app to open. No streak to keep. Just the right reminder, the morning it counts.
No. 06 · Off to the nursery
Every seed, seedling, and stake you’ll need, with fifteen local nurseries sorted by distance, phone numbers at the ready.
No. 07 · The catalogue
From bok choy to brussels sprouts, basil to borage. All with correct spacing, planting months, and companion data for your climate zone.

Sign up on the couch. Have your first plan before the kettle boils.
iPostcode, one or two bed dimensions, how many mouths you’re feeding. Two minutes with a tape measure, or trace an odd-shaped bed corner by corner.
(We detect your climate zone from the postcode, no zone charts.)
iiPick a starter kit, Salad Garden, Winter Staples, Stir-Fry, or say ‘surprise me’. Veto anything you can’t stand.
(Herbs and companion flowers are handled for you.)
Kept & vetoed
the planner works around what you won’t eat.
iiiEvery bed filled to scale with vegetables, companions, and a 12-month schedule. Accept it, or keep tweaking.
(Your shopping list is already waiting on the next screen.)
ivSnap a photo every week. The journal logs what thrived, what didn’t, and which varieties to plant again next season.
(Photo journal & succession planner are included with Grower at $5/month.)
From the founder
Last summer the patch did roughly 25-30 kg of tomatoes, around 12 kg of zucchini, and about 14 weeks of continuous lettuce off five raised beds, feeding a family of four. The succession scheduler kept us from missing the second sowing window. The reminders did the rest.

In their words
I love that it calculates how much soil, and how much to grow for my family.
Being able to seamlessly see my garden at a glance, and know which plants are companion-friendly.
