Getting Started with the Planting Module in Clade

  • 1 year ago

    The Planting Module is your central place for organizing your dahlia planting plan. It’s designed to help growers of all sizes, from backyard hobbyists, to small-scale flower farms—track each variety’s planting location, quantity, and schedule.

    Why Use the Planting Module?

    • Get a clear overview of what’s planted where

    • Track planting totals for each variety

    • Set yourself up for accurate harvest, dividing, and cutting records

    • Sync seamlessly with tools like the Bed Planner and Dividing Module

    Open the Planting Tab

    Find the Planting tab in your sidebar. This module pulls in all of your varieties from the Inventory module, so everything is ready to go.

    Add or Review Locations

    Before you start entering planting data, make sure your Locations are set up.
    → Add locations in the sidebar menu under Settings→ Preferences → Locations .

    📝 Tip: Locations are used across modules—so setting them up now helps with dividing, storage, and harvesting later on.

    Customize Your View

    Go to View Settings to toggle on/off columns that matter most to your process. You can hide non-relevant fields.


    Key Fields in the Planting Module

    Date Planted

    Track exactly when each variety went into the ground. This helps with reporting later on things like harvest timing and storage duration.

    Location

    Assign each planting to a specific bed or field. This allows for clear mapping and later ties into Dividing and Cut Flower tracking.

    Total for Planting

    This field captures how many tubers, cuttings, or clumps you're planting for each variety. This number feeds directly into the Bed Planner.

    Filtering & Sorting

    Use filters to:

    • Narrow by planting location

    • Sort by variety name, date, or number planted

    • Prepare data for harvesting and sales

    Summary and Tips

    The Planting Module helps you get organized before the digging, cutting, and harvesting ever starts. Use it to set yourself up for smarter dividing, better yields, and cleaner records.

    • This module isn't just about what you've already planted—you can also use it to plan ahead.

    • If you're a visual person, this connects beautifully with the Bed Planner, where you can literally see your layout.

    • The Total for Planting doesn’t necessarily match your total tubers—it's what you intend to get in the ground.

    • If you’re planting from cuttings, make sure to count those in the total, too.
