I have a few garden beds and I am a first time gardener so I have a lot to learn. I currently have my plants in the beds and I really like how the app reminds me when and what to water.

With that, what should I use for the “pot size” and “pot type”  
? I’ve been putting in the size that I have them spaced at. Should that be good? I feel like it’s not quite enough watering for some of the plants, especially when the weather got into the 80’s almost every day last week.

I have been having the same issue with my raised beds. I love the app but I wish it had more options, I have mine in a metal 4ft bed with an open bottom \& put metal pot for the pot type and the max pot size of 3ft 3in but I really liked your idea of the spacing so much more!!

I use the space idea and it works great for me. Because the plant doesn’t grow in the entire bed so it sounds logical to me 😂
