How GrowMuir works

Advice built around the garden you actually have

Most gardening advice is written for everybody, which means it is written for nobody's soil. GrowMuir starts with yours.

  1. 1

    Tell it where you garden

    A postcode and which way the garden faces. From that GrowMuir works out your soil, your light and your local weather — the three things that decide whether a plant will be happy.

    No address, no photographs of your house. Where you garden, not where you live.

  2. 2

    Add what you're growing

    The plants already in the ground, in pots, on the balcony. This is what turns general advice into advice about your garden — what needs doing, what can wait, what would sit well beside what you have.

    Add one plant or twenty. It gets more useful as you go.

  3. 3

    Ask as you go

    When something looks wrong, when you are wondering what to sow, when you are standing in front of a plant you have never heard of. Muir answers with your garden in mind.

    Asking is free and needs no account.

In the garden centre

Standing in a garden centre, wondering if it'll work

Point your phone at a plant and GrowMuir tells you whether it suits the garden you actually have — before it is in the boot of the car.

  • What the plant is, from a photo
  • Whether your soil and light suit it
  • How it sits with what you already grow
