About Plotwise
Plotwise is a full-season garden platform for home gardeners and small farms. It tracks your plants across seasons, models sun exposure, schedules watering and fertilizing, turns your harvests into recipes and shopping lists, and gives you a farm-gate marketplace to trade surplus with nearby growers.
What the app does
- Visual planners. Drag-and-drop trays, beds, and plot layouts. See your garden at a glance, not as a spreadsheet.
- Sun modeling. Every plot accounts for obstructions (fences, trees, houses) at your latitude, so recommendations fit your actual sun exposure.
- Schedules. Water and fertilize plans that respect local weather forecasts and plant growth stage.
- Multi-season memory. Archive past seasons, compare yields, and see what worked before you plan the next one.
- Companion planting. Built-in compatibility data suggests what plants each other, and what to avoid.
- AI assistant. Sprout-tier and up. Reads your live garden state (plots, beds, plants, tasks, weather) and proposes mutations as confirmation cards — never writes without your explicit click.
- Hard-freeze alert.The dashboard surfaces a distinct red banner when the next 3 nights drop below 0 °C, on top of the routine frost / heat summary, so you spot the night that actually needs frost cloth.
- Move-anywhere transplants. Tray-to-tray, pot-up, bed-to-bed rearrange — pick a destination, the app preserves your plant's lifecycle status correctly. Multi-select moves drop a whole batch at once.
- Neighborhood marketplace. List surplus harvests, seedlings, seeds, and tools for pickup at your farm gate. Buyers browse a map centered on their address. Cash-first onboarding — no Stripe account required to publish. See the pricing page for the marketplace fee schedule.
What it's not
- A first-party seed store. We don't sell seeds or plants ourselves. Every marketplace listing comes from another grower on the platform; use whoever you trust.
- A commercial farm tool.Scale-wise it's designed for home gardens and small market growers, not acreage.
