Hey folks,
I've been working on a tool called PatternBase to help document permaculture projects and share what's actually working in different conditions.
The basic idea: Track your observations, photos, and what you're growing over seasons and years. Then search by conditions (climate zone, soil type, sun exposure, structure type) to learn from similar gardens.
Sort of like social gardening - learning from shared experience instead of starting from scratch every time. I want to create a platform to document all the information that we have in our heads but havent yet found a central location for all the data. The more people use it, the more we can build models that take some of the guess work out of growing that halts new permies.
It's free and I'm looking for honest feedback from people actually doing this work. What's confusing? What's missing? What would make it more useful?
Check it out: pattern-base.com
Happy to answer questions here or you can message me on my email: hello@pattern-base.com

Thanks so much! James

Very cool! I don't exactly have a garden on a scale that would call for something like this, but I think it could be very useful for someone with different growing goals.  For the plant library tab, it could be made more user friendly by adding an ABC marker at the top of the list so you could sort through the pages by clicking on the letter. Also, the plant library page has a button that is not properly displaying on mobile. Otherwise the site looks very functional!
