I spent several hours every day in our garden at the house in the city when we set it up, but over the past few years it's only been 15-45 minutes a day after planting since we have automation for watering. We just moved to the country and will be spending a lot more time out there getting our new garden set up!

Haha! That's a great question! You should have seen how excited I got when I had the Eureka moment idea for the name. SmartGarden and PlantSmart were two of the other names I considered.

Great question, it’s been recommended that leggy seedlings can sometimes be saved by gently brushing your fingers back and forth along the tops of the plants every day. This motion simulates an outdoor breeze and tricks the seedlings into thinking they need to grow thicker stems to hold up against windy conditions. Also here is a video addressing leggy seedlings!

For us, it is. We grow a lot of things we used to buy every week like kale, spinach, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, etc... We also grow for the health benefits associated with eating food that's fresh and free of pesticides

I wouldn't mess with corn unless you have a 4x4 minimum area for it. They require other corn plants in order to pollinate correctly. A 4x8 for corn is great though!
