Dig the lawn or cover it?

Both work. Digging is quick; covering with cardboard and mulch is kinder to soil life and takes longer. The wizard asks about your starting point.

Do I need a rotavator?

Not necessarily. For big areas you can hire one. I mention it as a hint, not a must.

How fast do I get my plan?

Three steps, three minutes. Type your location, measure your bed, click the veg you like. I do the rest.

Free: one bed, full annual plan, PDF export — free and no account needed. Pro (multiple beds + weather + garden calendar + push & email reminders): €4.90/month or €39/year. Premium (with AI coach Stachi): €9.90/month or €79/year.

Does it work for a balcony planter?

Yes. From a 40×20 cm balcony box to a 3×1 m raised bed — same three steps, same outcome.

Do I need an account?

Not for your first plan — creating one works without signing in. You'll need an account once you want multiple beds, your plan on multiple devices, or weather reminders.

All starting points

In-ground bed: from lawn to vegetables

Gardening in the ground takes little material but some groundwork. I show you what your starting point really needs.

What ends up on your list

Tools for the groundwork if you do it yourself, none if you don’t.
Soil improvement by area: compost, mulch or green manure.
Protection and edging by size, for example a roll instead of single pieces.

Works as a gift too: a spade, a fork and a plan make a pretty honest present.
