If you are planting the same crop in the same location multiple times in a season, you can take advantage of Farmbrite's succession planting feature to save some time when creating your planting records. This could be very useful if you are plantings crops with a high turnover like microgreens, or hearty crops that can do well with an early spring planting that might leave you time to squeeze in a second planting for a late fall harvest. You'll find this feature available when adding a planting; to get started, click New Planting from either the crop type or your grow location.
You'll be able to define the number of plantings you'd like to create when adding the planting, and then the days between them. In our example image below, we're creating 5 plantings of microgreens with 1 days in between each planting. The days between plantings number is meant to give you some time to clean out the bed and add amendments before replanting, but it is up to you if you need this time or want to get the next one in the ground right away. Be aware that the next planting date is determined by adding this number of days to the end of the harvest window for the previous planting.
You can then add additional details to the planting. They will be used for all successive plantings, so the quantity, spacing, expected harvest amount, etc. will be the same for each planting created. You can always edit the future plantings if you'd like.
Pay close attention to the highlighted dates in our image below. We're planting our first microgreen planting on July 30th, with it's expected harvest on August 14th. You'll then see the next planting under Future plantings for August 16th, harvested on August 31st. Then September 2nd, harvested on September 17th, and so on.
You can harvest your crops for the first planting, and then mark it as complete when you are finished.
