Understanding the Grid System

Grid Basics

YourGarden uses a grid-based system to help you plan your garden layout precisely. Each grid square represents a specific real-world area.

• Grid Square Size: 100mm x 100mm (or 4" x 4" inches)
• Measurement System: Choose between metric and imperial in your settings
• Grid Range: Gardens can be 5x5 to 50x50 squares
• Real-world Example: A 10x10 garden = 1m x 1m (or 40" x 40")

Plant Sizing

Plants in the library are pre-sized based on their mature spread:

• Small plants (1x1): Herbs, small flowers, compact vegetables
• Medium plants (2x2): Lettuce, small shrubs, bush tomatoes
• Large plants (3x3+): Fruit trees, large shrubs, sprawling vegetables

Grid Navigation

• Zoom: Use the zoom slider or mouse wheel to get a detailed view
• Pan: Click and drag the grid to move around large gardens
• Grid Numbers: Toggle grid coordinates for precise placement
