Foil or polycarbonate?

Foil is light and goes up fast. Polycarbonate lasts longer and insulates better. The first step helps you decide.

Do I need a foundation?

At least a level, firm base. And anchor the house either way, or the first storm takes it for a ride.

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

Greenhouse: warmth for tomatoes and friends

A greenhouse is quickly bought, but only with ventilation, a solid base and some shade does it become a place where plants like to grow. I sort that out.

What ends up on your list

The right house for foil or polycarbonate, with a foundation if you still lack one.
Equipment as you like: vent opener, shelves, thermometer, shading, frost guard.
Pots and grow bags if you prefer those to a bed, with the soil that goes in them.

Works as a gift too: whoever gets a greenhouse needs a list for everything after.
