Introducing ZipHarvest.comZipHarvest was founded in 2007 with a simple idea; make growing highly productive home gardens simple and fun. At ZipHarvest.com site gardeners and growers can have their soil tested, design a garden from scratch or from an existing plan, and get step-by-step instructions on how to grow successfully. The site includes content to learn more about a wide variety of crops and techniques for getting the most from the garden as well as a marketplace where growers can find local service providers, and interactive community features that let gardeners exchange ideas and share their successes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

First, Test Your SoilSoil testing is one of the simplest, most cost-effective investments you can make to ensure a productive garden all season long. Soil condition varies, sometimes dramatically, from one location to another. In addition, soil fertility changes throughout the growing season and from year to year. Send a sample of your soil to ZipHarvest and in 3-5 business days they'll provide you with a detailed report on the condition of your soil and what you can do to improve it. ZipHarvest has 3 soil tests to choose from (Standard, Premium, and Professional). Soil collection takes about ten minutes. Mail your soil sample and ZipHarvest will take care of the rest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, Choose a Garden or Design Your OwnThe Garden Designer automatically sizes crop beds, accounting for things such as required plant spacing. Plant and seed packet quantities, estimated yield, retail value, overall garden cost and many other values are calculated in real time. This advanced tool makes designing the perfect garden a breeze, and once done it’s easy to purchase your garden design and receive a kit containing all the seed packets needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Garden Workbook - Your Guide to Success!The Garden Workbook is both a step-by-step guide as well as a journal, designed to help you better understand your personal gardening experience. When you become a ZipHarvester, you enter a new relationship with the natural world around you, and your Garden Workbook will help you process and document this new experience. Outlined in the Garden Workbook are all of the instructions you need in order to implement the Designer Garden you have picked. The Garden Workbook explains each step of the process of growing your garden from start to finish. It begins with preparing your soil before the planting of the very first seed, to harvesting and storing the very last fruit, six of more months later. The Garden Workbook is the equivalent of having a Master Gardener tilling the soil right next to you.
