A tool for planners and people that dare to act. It is not a fancy tool. Our goal is to give everybody an edge. Help you take the first step. And the second.
We designed Soilpepper to help ourselves. Now it is free for everyone to use. We hope you like it.
This setup wizard helps you take the first steps. After that you are on your own!
Step 1/5
What is your location?
We needed a tool for our place in Tuscany. As we are Dutch, we set one up for The Netherlands too. More presets will likely follow.

Step 2/5
What kind of soil do you have?
This is the most important piece of information when you are serious about your setup. Before you put in any effort, know your soil — it's a given, you work from here. You can tweak this per 10 m² later.

Step 3/5
So you know the region and your soil type. Great, excellent start.
We needed a tool that could help us plan the whole plot. So proper zoning (masterplan), influences like sun and wind (sectors) and water management. And a tool that works in the field and can help us with sowing, planting and harvesting. We planned our whole plot with it. But that is up to you. You can decide to just use the vegetable garden planner or tree planner.

Step 4/5
Any screen. Anywhere. Even offline.
All our tools work on a big or small screen. For planning we like our tools on a big screen. Going outside we like to use a smaller screen. Even offline, because we are at a place with shaky internet connections. Makes sense, right? That's why we made it possible to download your designs. Clickable and offline.
Just try it out, you'll see.

Step 5/5
One more thing.
We like privacy and autonomy. But that comes with responsibilities. Our tool is free, we track nothing and no account is needed (all data are yours).
This means you have to make a backup after each session just to be sure. The file you download is the file you upload again when needed. Nothing scary, you just need some discipline (as you do for running your plot).
Hopefully you will enjoy using Soilpepper as much as we do. Cheers!
