Upkeep Plan: maintenance advice that watches the soil
A home and yard maintenance planner that uses regional soil-temperature readings to time seasonal jobs and calculate material quantities.
Field notes
The planner asks for a ZIP code or lets visitors choose among twelve regions, then compares a current 5 cm soil-temperature reading with task-specific operating ranges. The homepage identifies NOAA research stations as the data source and says readings are pulled daily. Alongside timing decisions, the site includes calculators for seed, fertilizer, mulch, sod, topsoil, lawn area, and sprinkler runtime, plus a September checklist that distinguishes calendar intervals from measurements.
