Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the plant recommendations?
Our recommendations are based on comprehensive plant databases containing scientifically-verified growing requirements. The calculator considers factors like spacing needs, water requirements, sunlight preferences, and companion planting relationships to provide highly accurate suggestions for your specific conditions.
Can I use this tool for both indoor and outdoor gardens?
Yes! The calculator works for various garden types including outdoor plots, raised beds, container gardens, and indoor growing spaces. Simply adjust the sunlight settings (full sun, partial shade, or shade) to match your specific growing environment.
Are my saved garden plans stored securely?
All garden plans are saved locally in your browser's storage, meaning your data never leaves your device. This ensures complete privacy while allowing you to access your plans anytime. Your plans remain available even when offline.
What plant types are included in the database?
Our database includes comprehensive information for vegetables (tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, peppers, etc.), flowers (marigolds, sunflowers, roses, etc.), herbs (basil, rosemary, mint, etc.), and fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) with regular updates to expand the selection.
How does the water calculation work?
The calculator analyzes each plant's weekly water requirements and calculates the total water needed for your recommended plant quantities. It then ensures the suggested garden plan stays within your available water budget while maximizing plant health and yield.
Can I modify the recommendations after calculation?
While the calculator provides optimized recommendations, you can save multiple plan variations and compare different scenarios by adjusting your input parameters. Each saved plan includes all details and can be exported to PDF for future reference.
