Description
Useful information for gardeners applying Organic, Biodynamic, and Permaculture principles like Companion Gardening, Natural Biological Controls, Dynamic Accumulators, and Crop Rotation for growing vegetables, flowers, herbs, and fruit.
Companion plants assist other plants in many ways. They may attract insects away from plants thus relieving the plant of that stress. They may attract predator insects which affords the same result. Companion plants may provide physical assistance in the form of shade or support for growing parts. They may also assist in making certain minerals available in the soil that help that plant. Certain plants may also assist in improving the flavour of others.
As part of companion planting, knowing which plants attract or repel which particular pest is useful to know. This forms a way of biologically controlling insects that may be affecting your plants.
What’s New
Version 2.0

The interface has been improved to make the app friendlier to use. Finding the plants and influences has been improved through searching and filtering. Both minerals and influences have been colour coded to help identify what their effects are.
Ratings and Reviews
Accessible, straight forward and useful
The layout is very good, it is simple to navigate, and the aesthetic is well balanced between being attractive and clean.
The range of plants is quite good, it definitely covers a wide range.
Since this is a paid app I would like to see the option to ask for new plants to be added to the list for those plants not already listed. Overall, though it is a good app that does what it intend to do well, I would recommend it.
I also have to commend the developer for programming the app properly to enable screen reader access. I am vision impaired and it’s great to see an app that is inclusive. If this is accidental, I would encourage the developer to look into iOS accessibility to ensure the excellent level of voice over access is maintained.
Limited information for a high priced app
A very limited plant list (e.g., the only common fruit tree is apple). Expected much more at this price point. Makes it far less informative than it claims to be.
