FAQ
What gardens does this fit?
It can fit containers, balconies, patios, small yards, raised beds, and simple indoor plant routines.
What should not go in the active chore list?
Keep heavy work, chemical treatment, irrigation changes, bed rebuilding, and supply runs in the project section.
Does it replace plant care instructions?
No. It organizes time and tasks; plant-specific needs still need accurate local or plant care guidance.
