Garden Connect vs GardenSync

Garden Connect builds your garden's plan, day by day: what to water, sow, plant, protect and harvest, calculated for your plants and your local weather with real agronomic models. Works with a Premium subscription, after a free trial period. Joining a friend's or family member's garden stays free. Available in French and English. 1. CREATE YOUR GARDEN FROM YOUR ADDRESS Your address is enough: Garden Connect pulls 10 years of local weather archives to know your real frost dates, and follows the forecast every day. 2. DRAW AND SET UP YOUR GARDEN Draw your garden's outline, then its zones. Add your plants, and set the soil, exposure and watering type of each zone. The app tells you what's missing to make its recommendations more precise. 3. FOLLOW YOUR PLAN Every day, your actions grouped by type: watering, crops, protection, harvest, care. Mark them done, the plan adjusts. Choose your goals (harvest, maintain, develop, follow) and tell the app if you garden mostly at weekends. Behind the plan: FAO-56 water balance (the UN standard) for watering, degree-days for sowing, planting and harvest dates (based on your real planting date, with succession sowing), and epidemiological models for 270 diseases and pests. 4. TRACK YOUR GARDEN'S HEALTH A score from 0 to 100 sums up water, weather, diseases and diversity. Soil moisture is estimated without a sensor. Monthly and yearly reports show your actions, water saved, weather records and disease risks. Connected sprinklers and sensors (Gardena, Netatmo) add precision and automate watering. • Daily garden plan • Garden health score • Smart watering • Sowing, planting and harvest calendar • Disease and pest prevention • Garden care • Soil moisture without a sensor • Monthly and yearly reports • Connected devices: Gardena, Netatmo • Shared gardens • Two-factor authentication • Available in French and English Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
