The tool combines 3 approaches:
- Trait-based approach utilizing information from 3 databases: Plants for a Future (PFAF), Natural Plant Capital Database (NPC), and TRY database. You can improve this tool by supplementing missing information and by correcting outputs whenever databases report different values.
- Citizen science approach - you can utilize suggestions from peer growers as well as to share your own experience.
- Systematic literature review approach - you can improve performance of your vegetable polycultures by including spice and aromatic crops with proven efficiency in pest control and growth promotion.		Prairie Onion2Carrot; Tomato

You need to authorize "Scripts": press “Google hasn’t verified this app” – “Advanced” - “Go to Scripts (unsafe)” - “Allow”. Then you can press a button again to perform required action.
- Most workbooks require pressing action buttons to load data (and some additionally require opening of service spreadsheets). Follow instructions at the beginning of each workbook.
- Green running bar at the top right corner of each workbook indicates the progress of computations. Wait till the workbook finishes computations (and the green bar disappears) before moving to the next workbook. Workbooks utilize your computer's operational power. Some calculations might be lengthy depending on a workbook and your computer's capacity.
- Each spreadsheet contains design sheets (up to 5) and sheets with notes. You can simultaneously open different sheets of a workbook in different tabs or browser windows to visualize information side-by-side.
- The tool is in test mode and whe shall be grateful for your feedback. Please, report to Pavlo Ardanov (pavlo.ardanov()gmail.com on any errors indicating the name of spreadsheet, sheet name and cell range.		Garden Nasturtium1Tomato
