This harvest season, we invite you to join our Top of the Crops competition and celebrate your gardening achievements. By logging your harvests using the Harvest-ometer, you’ll not only track your money and CO₂ savings, but also stand a chance to win some great prizes. 

Our fabulous prizes include:

• A hori-hori knife (perfect for slicing and digging)
• A pair of quality secateurs
• A voucher for Tamar Organics seeds

Log your produce between August 1 and September 30 to be entered into the random prize draw, so don't worry if you harvests are little. The winners will be announced in early October. 

Unfamilar with the Harvest-ometer?

Whether you're gardening in a community space, a school project, or your own backyard, the Harvest-ometer helps you calculate the real value of your harvest in terms of money saved, meals provided, and carbon emissions reduced compared to supermarket produce.

How does it work?

1. Register your garden with Good to Grow (or log in)
2. Weigh and record your harvest
3. Log in to your dashboard
4. Open the Harvest-ometer
5. Select a produce type and enter its weight or quantity
6. View your harvest record and see its value
7. Check progress on your graphs or export the data

Reasons to use the harvest-ometer:

• To see how much you and your volunteers can grow.
• To include in funding applications or on your website.
• Because good gardeners keep records to improve yields (see Sustain Grow More Food publication).
• To help us show policy-makers that growing food has a high value.
