Why You Should Join Fryd Lab
What is Fryd Lab?
Fryd Lab is a citizen-science space inside the Fryd app where gardeners run quick micro-experiments, log simple observations, and share results. Together we build a living dataset that improves planting advice for everyone. It is free to join and designed for real gardens, not lab conditions.
Why does it matter?
Generic tips and seed-packet dates are broad averages, while seasons and microclimates shift from place to place. When many gardeners record what they did and how it grew, patterns emerge: true local planting windows, stronger or weaker varieties, timing cues from phenology and soil. We turn these signals into clear, location-aware guidance that updates as new data comes in.
Why should gardeners care?
You get fewer failed sowings, clearer timing, and simple checklists that match your conditions. Each task takes 1–3 minutes in the app, and your input helps unlock better advice for your garden and your region. Take part, see results, grow with more confidence.
