This Crop Planning Software Is A GAME CHANGER! | Heirloom

It is a bit rough but I like where I think this is heading. I worked in software product management for many years and I have a ton of feedback. Please let me know how I can get that to the dev team. My first bit of feedback would be that it could use a few short video tutorials. There were a number of places where someone who was familiar with the intended workflow would have had not trouble but where I got stuck. Also as a smaller scale market gardener there were a few places where I got tripped up. For example despite have uniform beds I probably should have chosen row feet as my units instead of beds. I have a lot of crops that I just can't justify a whole bed to. A lot of my succession planting is seeding a full row down a bed with the Jang and then using the next row in that bed a week later. I also do a lot of things like 3 cultivars seeded at once in a single bed to keep people excited while not over producing the total quantity of that vegetable.

this is an absolute marvel ! im about to start a farm in 2-4 years and one of the things that im not so good at is planning ahead and doing excel sheets and so on. This is going to save me so much stress and time. Wow thank you ! efficiency in market gardening just skyrocketed!

I would love to see JM do a Pros vs Cons comparison with Heirloom vs seedtime. I imagine Heirloom would be better suited to the pro/semi pro market gardener. I am a market gardener and have only used paper planning to this date. I need to decide which system to use or both and compare myself.

As a software developer, I can see that there's a lot of work and care that's been put into this from the video alone. Well done 👏

It really is a game changer! Only started putting in some things yesterday and it is so much fun! Feels like we are already a lot more prepared for the upcoming season.

Saw this in your online workshop this week, it will be a game changer for market farming!

Definitely exciting. In thinking about starting my own market garden, the most difficult perceived task is crop planning, and accounting… getting the numbers right. Knowing the numbers. has never been my strong suit. I look forward to the polished gold version. When will streamlined seed purchasing be integrated? And when will AI go live?

I have been playing with it for only a few hours. So far I am very impressed. I have been using Tend software for the past 8 years. The biggest part of Heirloom is locating plantings into the planed garden space. Soo easy and visual. Great job guys. I will definitely use this software when my trial period is up. I want you know that I am a 70 year old market gardener, if I can figure out how to use this, anyone can.

I absolutely love this program. I planned my entire market garden in 2 days with all tasks, seeds, and placements all tied together. It is great!

looks very useful, thanks! I also like the enhancements you're envisioning. if your devs are adding ai capabilities it could be cool if the app could access the gps in your phone so you could open the app and tap a 'what jobs are there to do in this part of the garden' report

Game changer for people unable to operate Excel.

Looks great. I unfortunately only have 40m² gardenbeds in total bynow, but would also love to play around with it, as it looks so well done 😊

Very cool. Any idea if we will be able to add our own crops, those plants not already in the system?

Please consider some kind of bare bones version that's cheaper for smaller gardens, like 50-60/year, with size limits or something. Sounds useful, but not worth it for us small fries.

I'm curious whether there is any calculation for additional "days to maturity" in the shoulder seasons? It's been a real issue that I've run into planting in the late winter and finding things not growing as quickly getting started. Light? Heat? Day length? Soil temperatures? It's a big can of worms, I know, but I think important to deal with if one is trying to plan for, for instance, having product to sell at the market on the first weekend of May.

It is really a grat thing to gardeners. I would like to see the possibility to add multiple crops in one bed, like one bed with salad, kohlrabi an Fennel at the same time as tomatoes and cucumeres. What would also be awesome, is when you would have an app like To do from microsoft, where you can conneckt to check up your to-do`s, and also note your labour. If your Done with vegetables you maybe could ad a mask for planning your animals or Field crops, so that you can print out one big scedule for your hole farm. I wish you find some Foundation, who is willing to pay your bills, so that farmers all over the world could profit for free from this great tool. Some more languages (german) would also be great. I really see a grat potential in this tool.

I just signed up with tend. I like it so far.

Could this be scaled for flower farmers and herb farmers? Lots of cultivars to add, but this would be a game changer for my farm.

When will the full version be available? Will the price increase then? It looks good but I am nervous about spending money if it is not all up and running well yet.

Was wondering why they no longer spoke about tend.
