Common Ground pairs live sensor readings from your garden with an AI-powered plant library — so you always know what to plant, when to act, and why it’s working.
Grown with the sun, the soil, and a little soul.
From seed to harvest, Common Ground keeps every detail organized and context-aware across all your growing spaces.
The precision agriculture tools used by commercial operations have always been out of reach for small and mid-scale farms. Common Ground changes that — pairing affordable, Pi-based field hardware with a dedicated app built from the ground up for regenerative growers, homesteaders, and market farms. Scout pairs with your Common Ground account in seconds via QR code — then streams live readings directly into your dashboard, no configuration required.
Design beds, map your property to scale, and visualize spacing and companion arrangements before you touch the soil.
250+ species with zone compatibility, companion affinities, soil preferences, and wildlife resistance — searchable by any trait.
Log growth stages, set harvest reminders, and build a season-over-season yield history for every bed.
Track threats by species, identify beneficial insects worth protecting, and get companion-based deterrent suggestions.
Recurring task reminders, cover crop planning, composting schedules, and crop rotation tools built in.
Context-aware advice powered by your real data — ask anything about your specific plants, beds, conditions, and season.
Add your gardens and beds, set your growing zone, and choose your plants. The planner handles spacing, companions, and layout automatically.
Pair a Scout sensor unit to start pulling live soil moisture, temperature, and camera data directly into your dashboard.
Get seasonal reminders, harvest alerts, pest warnings, and AI-powered answers — all grounded in your actual garden data.
Scout is Common Ground’s field hardware unit — built on Pi, designed for the farm. It monitors soil conditions, captures time-lapse snapshots of your beds, and streams live readings directly into your dashboard.
Unlike consumer smart-home gadgets, Scout is built for outdoor agricultural conditions. It connects over your existing WiFi, pairs with a QR code, and runs 24/7 without maintenance — bridging the gap between consumer electronics and professional ag-tech at a price that makes sense for home farms.
