Imagine planning your beds without any hassle. Instead of wading through compatibility charts to find the right plant, you simply pick a perfect neighbour for all the plants already planned on your bed. And then you get a heads-up whether last year's crop rotation helps or hinders your new planting. Instead of rummaging through your seed box, you see possible sowing times at a glance in the bed planner. And when a task for starting seeds indoors in spring pops up automatically, you've probably found your way to grove. Grove helps you plan your vegetable beds using tried-and-tested companion planting principles. Either freely in a top-down view or as classic row-based companion planting. That way you create healthy, productive beds and make the most of every square metre. Companion planting is an ecological method where plants support each other and improve the soil life around them. With successive and follow-on crops you get the best out of your space all year round. Putting together a well-thought-out bed plan takes real effort. That's exactly where grove.eco steps in. You design your beds the way that suits you. Free planning in top-down view for flexible beds, raised beds or unusual shapes. Or row-based companion planting on smaller beds or following the refined systems of Gertrud Franck or the Langerhorst family. Grove makes every approach easy to plan. WHAT GROVE CAN DO Include successive and follow-on crops: You plan your bed month by month throughout the entire year. Successive and follow-on crops become a natural part of your growing plan. No space goes to waste. Keep an eye on neighbours and crop rotation: You get direct feedback on good and less favourable plant neighbours. Grove also thinks ahead on crop rotation, so your beds stay healthy and fertile in the long run. Plant database with smart filters: A large, ever-growing database gives you all the key details on growing periods, space requirements and planting distances. With well-designed filters you'll find the right plants for your bed in no time. Plan tasks automatically: For every planting, grove creates matching tasks. For starting seeds, for transplanting. So you always know what's coming up next. Discover the harvest forecast: You can already see during planning when and which crops you'll be harvesting. Spot any gaps straight away and fill them on the spot. FOR EVERY GARDENER Whether you're a beginner or an experienced grower, grove helps you get the very best from your beds. Give grove a try and see how well-planned and productive your beds can be!
