Just another subscription deal for guarding with more interest on permaculture. I am a geek and a grower in my opinion things I should not need a subscription for software I want to run locally. On line access all the time when I need info. After checking this out for me this is just another grading online subscription. Pretty pages do not work on a locally but books and notebooks can do the same without worrying about access in the future so your question should be can I still use the info when I can not the internet or can not get the subscription any longer? This is probably fine for a lot of people for me it fails this test. It does have all the info needed that can be found for free on the net but may be difficult for people to find it does keep good record and so forth. It does make it easy in a one stop if that is what you are shooting for again just my opinion on this software. If it is different from when I tried it let me know what has changed...
