How to use the Snap to Grid function to 'snap' items to the nearest gridline for accurate positioning using an iPhone or Android phone

How to turn on Snap to Grid

Tap on the Planner Options menu (the 3 dots) on the right hand side of the Garden Planner. Check the Snap to Grid box. This will make it easier to ‘snap’ items to the nearest grid line for maximum accuracy when positioning them.

Snap to Grid and SFG (Square Foot Gardening) mode

If you're using the Square Foot Gardening method, you can also choose to Automatically Enable Snap to Grid when entering SFG mode. If you have both SFG and traditional row or block planting on your plan this makes it easier to move between SFG mode - where pinpoint accuracy in plant positioning is usually desired - and normal mode.
