How it works<br>Everything you grow, orchestrated<br>Garzed monitors the soil in each area continuously. When one drops below target, it fires that valve in short pulses, checks again, and stops when the soil is right.

Pick your level of automation<br>Schedule mode lets you set your own timer with rain skips — just a smart valve. Full Auto adds a moisture sensor: Garzed pulses water, checks the soil, and stops when it's right. Pick the level that fits your setup.
It learns each bed, then waters it right<br>Every plant has a dry-down point — how far the soil can fall before it needs water — and Garzed knows it for each plant in its library. In a mixed area it waters when the thirstiest plant reaches its point, so nothing sensitive gets too dry, then refills the soil back up to the area's soil capacity. Deeper-rooted plants could ride a little drier, but the area looks after the ones that can't. Each area runs on its own plants.
Weather that talks to your plants<br>Garzed reads your local forecast to plan ahead — pausing watering when rain's coming, warning you about frost, and showing you the week ahead. Pair an Ecowitt or Tempest weather station and it switches to live, hyperlocal readings from your yard.
A calendar driven by your actual season<br>Growing Degree Units track heat accumulation to tell you when plants are ready — not calendar dates that ignore whether spring came early or late. Frost dates, planting windows, and harvest timing all in one view.
A helper that knows your plants<br>Garzed Bot gives you advice that fits your setup, not generic web answers. Ask why a leaf looks off, send a photo of pest damage, or get a second opinion on what to try next.
How it stacks up<br>Where Garzed fits<br>Most gardens and lawns are watered on a schedule that doesn't know what the soil is doing. Garzed adds the missing layer — sensor data and plant intelligence — on top of the hardware you already use.

*Smart controllers like Hunter Hydrawise support wired soil sensors that require running wire from each area back to the controller. Garzed reads continuous moisture from wireless sensors (Ecowitt WH51) so each area just needs a battery-powered probe.<br>Basic hose timer<br>Set it and walk away<br>✓Custom watering schedule
