From the Ground Up makes the process of growing edible plants more accessible to communities by providing an easy-to-use database of information on a variety of plants. This work, which aggregates numerous credible sources, offers information in visual and written form on more than 5,900 edible plants capable of growing in temperate climates, though the data is applicable to most regions in the United States and can be filtered to suit different environments. Users can find information on nutritional, medicinal, and material uses for plants that can be growm in different areas while learning how to test for sun, soil, moisture, and pH levels in their environments. They can also explore ecological factors such as pollination and propagation methods and find out about plants’ ability to withstand drought, frost, pollution, and other climatic conditions. The guide helps users decide which plants they want to grow and allows them to save data for future reference. Explore From the Ground Up at usefulplants.tech.
