Planner guidance
How this fits into a home garden plan
Windows: Start outdoors not listed; start under cover not listed.
Space: Allow 30 cm between plants and 30 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 11 plants before paths and access.
Production: Expect about 1 kg per plant over roughly 28 days, so stagger plantings instead of filling the whole bed at once.
Planner notes
- Good for compact beds and teaching gardens because it produces quickly.
Planting Windows
Outdoor/direct: Not listed

Soil And Feeding
friable garden soil with compost - pH 6-7 - moist but not waterlogged
low to moderate feeder
Avoid overfeeding leafy herbs; use compost and light liquid feed only when growth stalls.
Generated maintenance default. Timing should be refined with plant-specific care research, soil test results, and actual growth observations.
Pests And Disease
Check for slugs, snails, aphids, chewing damage, and stress from dry or waterlogged soil.
Watch for yellowing, wilting, damping off, bolting, and rots after wet weather.

Sources And Local Review
KaiGrow live database backfill from existing plant catalogue fields and broad category rules. This prevents empty care data while crop-specific reviewed content is added.
Future idea: this independent source-combined library could support search traffic, donations, and careful seed/garden-supply sponsorship conversations.
