Let’s plan together.

About

Workshed is a gardening site organized around the three things you actually do out there: Plan what goes where, Build the beds and water systems, and Grow what you put in the ground. Each section holds the calculators that fit it alongside the writing that goes with them.

The calculators started because the same math kept coming up by hand. How much soil fills a raised bed, when to start seeds relative to last frost, how much mulch a set of beds actually needs. They are the ones I wanted to find and could not, so I built them. They are free, there are no ads in the way of the answers, and the math behind them is explained if you want to understand what is happening rather than just take the number.

Field Notes is the slower part of the site. Longer writing about what is working, what is not, and what the garden has taught through failure and repetition. The garden is real and working, and the notes are written close to when things happen.

Gear is the tools and supplies I actually reach for, listed with the reason I use them. It is still coming together. Nothing lands there because someone paid for the slot, and if a thing broke or disappointed me I will say so.

There is a garden page with current conditions and what is going on in the beds, updated as the season moves, and a recycling game called Sort It! when you want a break from the math.

The intended way to follow this site is RSS. The audience for this kind of site tends to be people who still read feeds, and that is who this is written for. If you want to subscribe, the feed is at workshed.garden/feed.xml.
