My journey into vegetable gardening started over four decades ago as a child, learning to garden from my folks and working in a nursery through high school. I first grew my own garden over 10 years ago when I moved into a small house with a patch of neglected soil in the backyard. And in this suburban, semi-new construction soil, my garden initially struggled. The soil was heavily compacted, and my layout ability left something to be desired. However, after years of experimenting I developed solid principles for layout that maximize each plant's potential. That combined with transforming my soil from an infertile, compacted orange-brown layer into a dark rich & fertile organic soil that grows more vegetables than I know what to do with. And what is amazing is I did all this without spending money!
As my skills grew, I started uploading videos to my YouTube Channel, GrowitBuildit. Well, things took off as my methods are easy enough to follow, and I have a knack for breaking down complex biological topics into easy-to-digest information.
That's why I created this app: to distill everything I've learned into a simple, step-by-step guide that anyone can follow. The app combines proven gardening principles with practical tools for planning, soil improvement, and composting—so you can avoid the mistakes I made and enjoy a thriving, sustainable garden from the start.
Powered by AI, but trained on my videos and articles, this app is the total package when it comes to vegetable gardening. You will gain from it no matter your skill or experience level. And it's fully customized to you and your situation. By sharing a simple sketch of your garden layout, and telling your location, you can get reminders of when to sow, transplant, harvest, and when to start scanning for pests. It does all this while also teaching you lessons in various gardening principles such as proper composting, materials, and soil science.
