Just found this app about a month ago. It’s amazing!!!!
Thank you Scott for posting. I still watched your video and picked up a few pointers with the navigation that I hadn’t figured out on my own. 😀 Please keep up the great work. I really do learn so much from you!
I have been using this app for a little over a year. Now that I know Gardener Scott is rolling with this one, I feel like I am on the right track lol.
I'm a pencil to paper type of person (and an artist) so I enjoy drawing my garden out each year and all the flower beds surrounding it. I have a big thick journal and each year I re-draw my garden and write down where each plant is planted. Along the way I draw pictures of the different flowers and plants, any interesting bugs I come across and even my chickens, cows, etc. When I get to the end of this journal I will buy another and have this one on my bookshelf. I also prefer to go out into my garden without my phone, for peace of mind and time to myself. But to each their own and that's what makes the world interesting, isn't it.
Had my pencil and paper out yesterday doing my planning. Perfect timing for this video. When you noted that it links to my PC, you had me hooked!
Thank you for the information!!😊😊😊
Had me hooked!!😮
I got the lifetime subscription 2 years ago! Love this app and happy to know that working with the developers.
Thank you, Gardener Scott! I just signed up for their Yearly plan at $1/month. Wonderful wonderful value.
Honestly i was struggling with my planing this year and was looking for a better way..............so i downloaded the app! I will play with the free version for now and if it works then i will upgrade. Thanks for dragging a boomer along on your journey.
I used this app too! Helps plan when to start plants too! Nice recommendation! EDIT: I was using the free one, but for a 25% off lifetime subscription? I am sold!
I have had the free version of this app for over a year. I had no idea that I could add different varieties. You convinced me to sign up for the lifetime subscription. Thanks Gardener Scott! 😊
After watching your video, I downloaded the app and paid for premium service.
Wow this app sounds amazing. I'm a boomer and stuck in mu old ways. TFS 🌱👍
Thanks for another informative video I've been using a planning app since 2015, and find it very helpful both for each year and copying/planning year over year. Plus it gives me something do to in Feb when there's snow on the ground and I'm entertaining myself with seed catalogs...
This is so exciting! I used your code. Thanks for making gardening so accessible ❤
I've been trying to find an app that works. Most have crashed or have very informative rules. Thanks for the insight
Suggestion: add the year to the name of bed, then you can look back at what was in that bed by year. You could also use spring and fall in the description if you replant the beds.
I just bought the lifetime subscription. Looks like it will be useful and a time-saver!
I still like a monthly planner and 3 ring binder. I looked at it and it just doesn’t do it for me. Feels to much like office work. I had to add bush beans as only choice was just beans. I can’t review much more than that as features were limited without subscription. I’m not sure if companion plants are suggested or not. I believe if you add a plant you need to add all that info as well. I simply flip to what I need to know.
What can I say, I’m old school 😂
The app does offer companion plant suggestion and also combative plants that aren't recommended. I fully understand your binder. Do what works best.
Got the app through your link. Thanks!
Thank You! that sounds like a pretty neat app! I will have to check it out!
It would be great to be able incorporate user watering times and rates. As well as soil pH values, sunlight times, harvest values, etc…I think that info being used by the developer would be invaluable to the garden community as it will help guide others to get the most effective harvest based on environmental conditions. Somebody in another area, but with similar sun and water might determine they need to amend their soil more with a certain nutrient. Very exciting app nonetheless!
Thanks for this great tutorial!
Great information! Thanks for the tip.
I’ve downloaded the app! Looking forward to seeing how it all works 😊
I discovered this app last week. It looks like a good one.
Thanks! That's exactly what I need.
Thank you for sharing this.
Very interesting. Thanks 👍
Love this!!👍👍
This is going to be fun!
I'm downloading now!
THANKS!! I got it!!!
I love the future!
what an awesome app
This app looks very easy to use! Thank you for letting us know about it. Downloading now 😊🌱
Can you tell me what the name of the app is? And what the app icon looks like? Please & thank you.:)
@@maryannodell7856 "Planter" Icon is a stem with three leaves
@@maryannodell7856 It's called "Planter" and the icon is green with a white sprout.
Thank you Kelsey!
Were you able to use the discount code? I can’t find a place to enter it.
I just found a foliar spray that's essentially free.
Grind up egg shells, heat @150°F 10-15 minutes.
If you can grind to a fine texture. Put in fairly large container, just a small amount 1/2 cup of shells and add equal amount of vinegar.
It definitely will create a foam, hence the large container.
The vinegar+egg shells make calcium water soluble.
DILUTE this after the process is finished 1000 parts water to 1 part calcium.
Or just water the garden. The spray should be done about a week before flowering starts.
Second way is much the same, but feed the shell bits to chickens. You could add biochar to the grit bowl for chickens and cut down on some of the problems chickens can get.
Wonderful! I'm going to try this out. My hands are such that I find myself skipping my journal after gardening and then I don't write things down. By the time I'm ready to take notes, I'm up in bed and I forgotten my journal out in the shed.
Thanks!
Thanks, Craig!
I love the free version, but with the benefits you just showed us I couldn’t pass up a subscription! Be sure to click the link in the description as you won’t be able to get the discount by going straight to the app!!!
That’s a very cool app
on a phone? thats new sir. well you got a thumbs up from me.ill have to check that app.
I'll be trying this app instead of plant tags this year. I find plant tags to be a bit cumbersome.
When you said "and I'm doing it on my phone." It sounded like you were being sneaky or mischievous.
Is great that you have a discount code, except they do not have a place to enter it!
I got that fixed. Here's the right link: planter.garden/promo/GardenerScott
Ugh, no phone, no app. I'll keep doing it the old fashioned way on 1/2 in. graph paper.
We use Gardroid. Easy to remember what have done.
now you know I prefer digital things, but I'm not a fan of the other gardening apps I've tried, this one looks pretty good though. Is it compatible with the UK?
Hi @In the Garden with Eli and Kate! We hope you give Planter a try and we're looking forward to any input you have! You should be able to customize your frost dates under 'Settings' to reflect your local conditions. We do have a number of users in the UK. We are looking to partner with seed companies in the UK to bring in seeds and varieties available there. If you have any questions we're happy to help!
Lol, when you said, "I'm a boomer!"
Great video gardener Scoot I am looking for a garden care app that would help determine garden plant diseases, and insects. Would you have any recommendations. Thank You
I don't use one that I could recommend, but a quick search showed there are apps for that.
Downloaded to try this app. Unfortunately, everything is square or rectangular beds. I'm growing almost exclusively in round grow bags and Greenstalk towers as I'm a renter and can't build raised beds here. No way to make a round bed on the app(:
Thank you for trying out Planter and for your input! We are continually upgrading the app and adding new features. We plan to add support for container gardening- its one of the most-requested features! We will make an announcement on our PlanterApp social media channels when it launches.
GreenStalk has its own garden journal and since it’s round you can use it for your round grow bags I’m guessing. I think I will get both the Garden Planner app. and the GreenStake journal to keep track of my whole garden… thank you Scott I wish I knew about this app sooner.
Thank you! Great idea! I had tried another planning guide but it was so connected them trying to sell me thing’s constantly, I got discouraged with it. Can I sync it with my iMac? If so, how? We don’t really use apps on the iMac
I looked at the app store and it looks like it should. You can check out the website and see if they have a FAQ or customer support for answer.
Thank you! I have three more GreenStalks to put this spring, making a total of 8 for me! I think I heard about them first from you (and Jess from Roots & Refuge!) I knew if you were recommending them, they were good! I also learned first from you what seed companies were best!
@Gardener Scott, It took me 2 days to go back to rewatch the video for instructions for Monday winners to provide contact info. Will we get any confirmation prior to your sending whatever we won? Thanks!
You need to send me your contact info to gardenerscott@gardenerscott.com. I don't have an email from you yet.
Thank you, Scott. Just subscribed. What dates do you use for here in MR/WH?
Thanks! Welcome to the channel. I'm sorry, but I don't recognize MR/MH.
@@GardenerScott Meridian Ranch/Woodmen Hills
@@dgk4268 Funny, I've never referred to it that way. I use May 18 as a last frost date and Sept 28 as first frost for planning.
@@GardenerScott I’m just being lazy
Does the app allow succession planting in needs over a season? I'm thinking of getting the lifetime premium account. But before I invest, is like to see if this is a feature it has.
One way to create a succession plan could be to copy the garden bed, make adjustments and re-name it (e.g., "Bed 1 Mid-Summer"). We are continuously adding new features to Planter- and a timeline view to support succession planting is high on the list!
Looks promising but am wondering, when you harvest and replant a bed, can you later look back to see what was in the bed historically?
For the moment the best way to keep historical views of your garden would be to create copies of the garden beds representing different points in time.
Going through withdrawal. Selling lifelong home. Moving into a place with small yard and hard to please HOA. Have 1/4 acre of various gardens and raised beds in current home. Not sure if i can not garden. Looking for a community garden or a cheap lot i can buy just to grow things. Usually have a room full of seeds started by now. Watching your channel and wanting to cry.
I hope who ever buys your lifelong home appreciates what you have built up over the years. I hate to think about my next move, I'm an old fart now.
Hope you can find an outlet for your gardening. Stay Well!!!
I wonder if the app suggest what to plant the next year. if it does I would be interested to have the app
Not yet....but definitely on our to-do list!
👍👍👍👍👍
Hello, can u pls let me know what kind of long (actually I don’t know what is the correct name for it. I saw in your old video u use to water your plants.) thing u attached with your hose, so u don’t have to bend. Can u pls let me know from where I can buy it. I’m in Canada.
It's a water wand, like this one: amzn.to/3lkz6GX
@@GardenerScott Thank u so much.
Where is the price? I can’t find it and afraid to click get and be automatically charge.
If you buy the annual can you separate year to year? Also I clicked on the annual option but didn't see where I could put in the promo code so I'm waiting until I can figure itout. Tips?
The code is imbedded in the link already. You should be able to enter new garden plans for each year.
Hi! The link in the description has been updated so it should take you directly to the promotion- no need to enter a code. The discount will continue to apply when the annual subscription renews (you will receive 25% off the price at that time.)
Can you use pressure treated wood for raised beds?
Yes, that's what I use with no problems
Yes you can. Here's my video on that: czcams.com/video/6fu4TIMWaH4/video.html
I would use corrugated metal. Growfully with Jenna had a recent video showing what happened to her cedar beds in a few years and now has to replace them.
Is it possible to create rows of plants instead of using the square foot method?
Currently the spacing is per-square-foot, although we plan to add support for row-based gardening in the future! In the meantime you might be able to simulate a row system by customizing the per-square-foot spacing.
@@planterapp Thank you!
How much does it cost? The App Store doesn’t say till after you download the free version.
There are options less than $30.
@@GardenerScott thank you
Downloaded the app but not sure i trust some random app maker to keep the app going forever. What if the app developers stop updating it? Using google drive folders now.
I just met with the developers and can tell you the updates will be coming for a long time to come.
I tried this, and it just didn't feel worth it to me unfortunately. If it reminded me when to fertilize/water and it allowed me to account for sowing for a fall/winter garden, I'd consider trying it again. Right now I can just so what it does on paper.
I am trying to sign up for the premium subscription in the app but I don’t see anywhere to use the code given in the video. Please help.
The link should take you to the right spot whether on PC or mobile. It's been updated so the code isn't needed any more to get the discount for Premium. If you have any issues you can contact Planter through the "Send Feedback" on the app.
@@GardenerScott I was able to get the discount...but I had to use a PC/laptop. I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone.
Why would I use this app? When it is easy to do a much better job with google docs and the info from our local university ag school?
Many people enjoy using Planter because its quick and easy to visualize and plan a garden anytime, anywhere! It sounds like you have a planning method in Google docs that you enjoy using.
Can I import a garden layout from someone else's planter app?
I know they're working on that but I don't think it's available yet.
OMG, do not replace Gardener Scott with an app, lol.
I still have an analog phone for Christs sake. My eyes and finger's are not as nimble as they used to be. This has a lot of potential, especially for people with large gardens, like Gardeners Scott.
Stay Well!!!
Lol, if that’s a large garden I must be a crop farmer 😂😂😂
I like my monthly planner and pencil.
I had a problem with some of the SqFt spacing. 1 determinate tomato plant does not require 4SqFt of spacing. I'll stick with pencil and paper (and I'm in my mid-20's).
Specific varieties of vegetables were also lacking. Even fairly popular tomato varieties like Kellogg's Breakfast and Aunt Ruby's German Green. I'll pass on this app.
Hi Nick, thanks for trying out the app! We know everyone has their personal gardening preferences, so pretty much everything in the app is customizable, including the spacing. You can even customize spacing per-variety or per-plant. As for varieties, we're working on adding more seed company's varieties 🙂.
Bummer no option for round beds.
Hi Melissa! We're working on adding this! It's a bit tricky since the garden grid is rectangular, but there's a lot of interest in grow bags and round beds, so it's definitely on our to-do list. Cheers and happy gardening 🌱, Peter
