Kurtz-Fernhout Software: Garden with Insight
http://www.gardenwithinsight.com/

"Garden with Insight" is free garden simulation software that runs on
many PCs (from old to new). A 600+ page online help system is
available to examine the parameters that may be changed, including
nutrient cycling, pH, soil porosity, movement of water through the
soil, photosynthesis, leaf area index, heat unit index, and plant
competition for water and nutrients. Years of gardening can be
simulated in minutes. The young may be more demanding on the graphics
but Paul D. Fernhout & Cynthia F. Kurtz have worked on this software
for years and it has an ability to simulate a lot of garden
conditions.  It hasn't been improved recently, but I did say it was
free, right? (***1/2) -SR
