ReplyDeleteYou simply take a picture of a plant, pest or disease and submit it through the app to a team of live experts who identify it for you and provide necessary suggestions. Ultimately, when the algorithm learns all the plants etc much of this identifying will become automatic. While there is minimal capacity to purchase the plants and remedies at this time, they are working on a complete design overhaul of both the app and the GardenCompass.com website so that by fall you will be able to browse and buy an amazing array of unique garden-related gear and uncommon plants not available anywhere else.
