This feature will take in what the user is planting, and the size/proportion of their plot. It will be able to show the user where to plant the tomato plant in relationship to the ocra plant and so on. It will more specifically show the user the best way to plant the garden geographically.
2. Ripeness Meter
The user will be able to take a photo with their iphone, or upload an image on-line. They will be able to automatically see info overlaid on the image, that will reveal how ripe the produce is. It will also be able to tell them if it is good to eat.
3. Caring Schedule
This will be an on-line schedule that will remind the user daily of when to water their plant, feed their plant, etc. It will provide the user with knowledge on how to successfully grow the plant day by day.
4. Who's available to work?
An online database will keep track of volunteer schedule. Each profile will have a bio and users will be able to see who needs help on specific days. Now you can volunteer wherever and whenever.
5. Rewards
By uploading photographs, the members of the site will receive recognition for their gardening strengths. Rewards will probably consist of being on the initial page of the site for a month. It could be for best looking tomato, or largest eggplant, etc...
6. Location Finder
Our users will be able to locate new and old plots for their produce. They can find plots that are near or far, and plots that specialize in certain produces. This will benefit those that are new to the city, but haven't been able to plant their own produce yet. For example...Hey! we're looking for a new volunteer who would like to plant some cabbage on the east side of the north land plot.
7. Land meter
Each plot, registered on the site, will be rated by our users. They will be able to tell you that the plot is really good tomato's, but they may not have had much luck growing eggplant.
8. Equipment Rental
For Budget purposes we will have an equipment rental feature. Instead of buying a new rake, our user will be able to rent, or even borrow, a rake for a week for another volunteer. This will also help them to socialize with other urban farmers within the area.
9. Live Feed
We will also do live footage of a different urban farm each week. Our users can watch other farms from the comfort of their own home. Or, they can go to that garden when they see others planting/needing help.
10. Design a Garden
Our users will be able to plot their own dream garden. Others can help out, so it would be a cooperative brainstorm online. The community could type in what all they would like to plant in a certain area one day in the future. It will help them plan out new urban farms.
11. What's growing in the garden?
Each plant gets logged in the digital garden. Everyone knows what's growing so people don't plant multiples of things. You can check in, check up and much confusion is avoided with this handy dandy online check list.
12. What seeds are available?
The online database for the phone and the website is your one stop shop for all your seeds, including heirloom. See who's offering what, where and how much. Database includes everything in North America and Canada. The database includes a visual of each plant and seed variety.
13. Seasonal Recipe Database
If you're growing, you're sure to be cooking. This database of nifty recipes is even tied to the What's Growing in the Garden list so it'll notify you when you should be cooking squash soup or pea fritters! There'll be recipes for product you have in the garden and recipes for other vegetables so your phone will tell you what you're going to need to buy that you don't have in the garden.
14. Who's in the garden?
As a user, you'll be able to build your profile, put in your availability and the database will store your information and let you know when you're needed. If you tell it when you've checked in to the garden it will let your team mates know when you're there.
15. Don't know what's gotten to your plant?
Take a photo of what's happening to your vegetables and get instant feedback from your gardening buddies.
16. What abilities do the other gardeners have?
Looking for a team member with some specific abilities? Profiles on the site will be stored in a keyword database making searching for someone much much easier.
17. Look for a particular plant type
This will be also available on the iPhone app. Your guide to what's what in the world of gardening will help you understand what plants when, how long you've got to go until you can pick and when and how much you should be watering.
18. How much room have I got left in my garden?
With your iPhone you can measure the length of the garden width ways and length ways and plan your rows accordingly.
19. Other gardening activities
Of course with every garden there has to be community meals, community work days and days when you have a special teacher in town teaching on up to the minute gardening methods. Check this schedule weekly, daily or get push notifications.
20. Who's at the garden?
When you're there you can check one box and it'll notify your community. A great idea for security purposes and to let your friends know you might like some company!
