App for managing your garden

[Rarewaxwing]

I use the Sweepy app to help me keep on top of housework. It reminds me when the hall needs hoovering or the windows need cleaning, for example.

Does anyone know if there is anything similar for managing your garden? I have a small garden, so it shouldn't be hard to manage, but I don't know the first thing about gardening. The only thing I'm good at is feeding the birds. I need something to tell me when to prune / weed / plant, etc.

Hi, I swear by the RHS website. If you go to the 'my garden ' section and set up a log in you can tell it everything you have and it'll tell you what to do each month.

It's free and brilliant

Wow, @Bigteamug , that sounds amazing - thank you! I'll check it out now 🙂.

Thank you so much for this tip! It's brilliant- I've just created my account now and will fill in all my plants

That site looks useful.

Glad you like it. I nearly didn't share it as it's my secret to seemingly vaguely competent as a gardener! 😆 xxx

This is my new project 😊. I've been using this to identify the plants in my garden.

It's just suggested my first job: mulching. What's the best material to get for this? Wood chippings?

Wood chippings are great for mulching. I got some straw mixed with horse poo from my local riding stable for free which is also really good.

Enjoy 😀

Thanks - I think I'll stick to wood chippings for now!
