Broadfork™

A garden planner that holds what you would otherwise have to keep in your head.

A garden is a hundred small things you are supposed to remember. What went in that bed last year. Which variety actually produced. When the peppers went in, and whether it was too early. Most of it lives in your head, and the rest is in a notebook you cannot search.

Broadfork holds it instead. It records what your beds actually did and uses it, so next season starts from the last one instead of from scratch. What you tell it once, it keeps. When it does not know something, it says so rather than guessing. When it raises something with you, it shows you the source.

A garden does not happen in a day, and it does not happen in an app. It happens outside, over a season, and that is where you should be. Broadfork asks for very little of your time. No streaks, no nagging, no distractions. It is quiet until it has something you need to know.

Start with one bed. Next spring it will already know something you would have forgotten.

Want to look around first? A sample garden is open to click through, with no sign-in. It is built for a computer screen for now.
