If, like me, you're a novice gardener (read: I occasionally plant some bulbs and then wonder why my garden doesn't look nice all year round), then you might want to download a new iPhone app, Hota, which aims to help beginner gardeners with what they should plant and where.
The Hota app is well designed with an easy to use UX that makes gardening much more accessible. When you open it, it identifies the direction your garden is facing, as well as what it calls Soil ID – the type of soil you have, which is based on your location (Hota currently only works in the UK).
