What it is
This guide walks you through creating a complete indoor container garden plan in six logical phases. It covers setting up the grid layout, adding containers, assigning plants, scheduling watering, designing nutrient feeds, and reviewing the finished plan. The step‑by‑step workflow eliminates guesswork—every phase builds on the previous one so you don’t miss critical details like proper spacing or nutrient timing. By following an ordered approach, hobby growers avoid common pitfalls such as uneven light distribution, over‑watering, or forgotten feeding schedules that can stress plants and reduce yields.
How to use it
Navigate through each numbered step using the wizard. You’ll see a progress bar indicating how many steps are complete. Progress is saved automatically to your browser’s localStorage; you can pause and come back later with everything still intact. If you want to restart, click ‘Start Over’ to clear all data and begin again from scratch.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it usually take to set up a garden in GrowGrid?
Most growers finish the full wizard in 15–20 minutes, though complex multi‑container setups may take up to 30 minutes. The process is quick because each step contains concise actions and instant visual feedback.
Do I need an internet connection or external database to use this tool?
No. The app runs entirely client‑side using HTML5 drag‑and‑drop, interactive calendar widgets, and localStorage for persistence. You can also export your plan as a JSON file for backup or sharing.
Can I share my completed garden plan with friends or on social media?
You can download the exported JSON file of your plan and then upload it to any cloud storage or send via email. The app does not provide built‑in sharing links, so manual transfer is required.
