What grew in this bed last year? The bed knows.
Crop rotation only works if you remember last year's plan. Speak a note at each bed as you sow or clear it, and the plot keeps its own season-by-season record — what grew, when, and what should follow.

What you capture
- A spoken note at the bed — what you sowed, fed or lifted, hands still muddy
- Photos across the season: bare soil, the first rows, the harvest you got
- The date and which bed, on which plot, captured for you
Tap the bed's tag and its whole journal opens on your phone — every crop it's grown, with the voice notes, photos and dates, season by season.
A wet allotment is hard on records, and a crop rotation tracker is only as good as the markers it's written on. Plant markers bleach and wash out, and the paper rotation plan pinned in the shed is illegible by midsummer. Tag each bed once and the detail lives in the app instead: tap the marker, speak what you've just sown or fed, and that bed quietly builds its own dated history — a crop-rotation tracker that keeps itself, bed by bed, with no spreadsheet to maintain.
When a bed turns over to the next crop, archive the finished season to its past-seasons history and free the tag to label whatever comes next — the whole story stays, even though the bed has moved on. Years in, you can see at a glance where the brassicas or potatoes have been, so you never plant them in the same ground too soon. Work more than one plot and each entry remembers which bed it came from; and if a marker is ever snapped or washed away, move its record to a fresh tag and lose nothing. Set a reminder on a bed, too, and your phone nudges the jobs that are easy to miss — sow the next succession of salad, earth up the potatoes, or net the brassicas before the pigeons find them.

Questions
- Can I add a note without taking my gloves off?
- Yes — that's the point. Tap the bed's tag and speak: what you sowed, what you fed, what you lifted. It's saved to that bed with the date and place, hands still muddy, no typing on the plot.
- How does it help with crop rotation?
- Every note and photo is dated and tied to one bed, so the bed builds its own season-by-season history. Next spring you can see exactly what grew there and where the brassicas or potatoes have been — without keeping a separate plan.
- What happens when a bed changes crop — can I reuse the tag?
- Yes. Archive the finished season to the bed's past-seasons history and free the tag to label the next crop; nothing is lost. And if a marker is ever snapped or washed away, move the whole record to a new tag and carry on.
