Veggie Garden Planner vs VeggiePatch

The Veggie Garden Planner provides you with clearly arranged information that you need to quickly compose your vegetable garden patch. Before purchase we provide a free download so you can see for yourself what value the app provides. Choose vegetables that harmonise well together. You will find information regarding good/bad neighbor plants for each vegetable. For your chosen garden composition you get tabular overviews to quickly determine sowing/harvest times, and which interactions exist between vegetables. As a purchasable bonus feature, you can visually arrange your vegetable patch with our Patch Plan Editor - with vital information regarding planting distance & good/bad neighbors at your fingertips. You will also be warned of problematic crop rotations, e.g. if you place two plants with strong soil depletion at two consecutive seasons! Note regarding the climate zone: The seedtimes and harvesttimes are adjusted to hardiness zones USDA 7-8 (e.g. Atlanta, Seattle or Central Europe). Please adapt accordingly.

VeggiePatch – Your companion planting planner for garden, balcony and raised beds Discover the tradition of companion planting – a centuries-old, proven growing method for a healthy, natural and sustainable garden.

Companion planting is based on the deliberate interaction of different plant species. These natural relationships can improve nutrient cycles in the soil, reduce pests, support plant growth and strengthen soil life. Some plants – such as beans – enrich the soil with nitrogen, benefiting neighboring heavy feeders. Shallow- and deep-rooted plants use different soil layers and do not compete directly. Herbs can repel unwanted insects with their essential oils or attract beneficial pollinators through their scent. Plant diversity also helps prevent one-sided soil depletion, which often occurs in monocultures. Fallow periods can be reduced or avoided altogether. The result is a resilient, balanced garden with stable long-term yields – without synthetic inputs. Scientifically grounded and practical The recommendations in VeggiePatch are based on established horticultural literature, permaculture approaches, educational materials from organic farming and the experience of long-time gardeners. The focus is always on clarity and practical usability – whether you are just starting out or already experienced. Sowing and planting times All time references in VeggiePatch are based on the temperate climate of Central Europe (e.g. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux). In other climates, altitudes or regions, ideal planting windows may differ significantly. Please adapt your planning to local conditions. Your garden grows – and VeggiePatch grows with you The plant database is regularly expanded and updated to include new species, varieties and combinations. We emphasize quality, practical relevance and diversity – from classic vegetables to lesser-known herbs and berries.
