Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as your household needs, every season. The logs and planners are made to be reprinted.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Does it work outside the US?
The math works anywhere. Measurements are in feet and inches, seed and fertilizer rates follow US label conventions, and timing runs on frost dates and soil temperature, so it adapts to any climate.
How is it different from the free calculators?
A calculator answers one question and forgets it. The kit keeps your yard's numbers together, turns them into a dated plan for the year and a budget you can shop in stages, and gives you logs that make next year easier than this one.
