Know what's actually in your dirt — without sending a sample to a lab. Snap one photo of any patch of ground and our AI reads it like a field scientist. In seconds you get a complete field report covering texture, estimated pH, drainage, organic matter, structure, fertility, and exactly what will (and won't) grow in it. Perfect for backyard gardeners, raised-bed planners, hobby farmers, native-plant enthusiasts, lawn troubleshooters, and anyone tired of guessing about the ground under their feet. WHAT EVERY SCAN GIVES YOU • Soil class — sand, loam, clay, silt, peat, and the in-betweens • Color, particle, and composition read • Estimated pH range with what it actually means for plants • Drainage class, water retention, aeration • Organic matter and fertility indicators • Compaction level and erosion risk • Likely region of origin and climate fit • Crops and ornamentals worth trying • Plants that will struggle in this ground • A prioritized amendment plan (compost, gypsum, lime, biochar, peat, more) • Garden, agricultural, and landscaping use cases • At-home tests to verify the reading • When it's worth calling in a certified lab YOUR GARDEN LIBRARY Every scan is saved automatically. Build up a personal library — different beds, different seasons, different yards. Compare changes over time and watch your improvements show up in the data.

Waggl Bloom tells beekeepers what's blooming for their bees — right now and in the weeks ahead. It turns a century of botanical research into a simple, day-by-day forage forecast for your region: which plants are flowering, how much nectar and pollen they offer, and how that's trending. It works offline, and there's no account to create. WHAT YOU GET - Blooming Now — the plants in flower today for your area, ranked by nectar strength, with pollen colors at a glance. - Nectar & Pollen forecasts — see how forage is trending across the window you choose. - Bloom Calendar — each plant's typical bloom window across the whole year. - Plant details — real photos, honey tasting notes, pollen color, sugar and protein figures, and toxic-to-bees warnings. - Your region, your way — use your location, or pick your state and hardiness zone by hand. - Light and dark mode. The full plant catalog works offline. HOW IT WORKS For your region, Waggl Bloom resolves which plants are present, models each one's bloom with a three-phase intensity curve (build-up, peak, taper), and weights it by how much nectar and pollen that plant yields per acre. When you're online, USA-NPN phenology data nudges the timing to your exact season. Built on trusted sources: Pellett, Crane, Baude et al., FloRes, USDA NRCS PLANTS, and USA-NPN. A NOTE ON ACCURACY These are directional estimates to guide your beekeeping decisions — not guarantees. Confidence is strongest where the regional calendar is best curated, and the app shows you that rather than implying uniform precision. FREE, WITH AN OPTION TO GO AD-FREE Waggl Bloom is free and supported by a single banner ad. A one-time in-app purchase removes ads for good. Waggl Bloom is part of the Waggl beekeeping platform.
