A database would be a nice idea - however, we have a binder with a map of
every bed including trees, flowerbeds and veggie beds. We then have
correlating sheets that list what is in each bed and what was done to that
bed i.e. rototilled, manure, what type of fertilizer. We also have a
history sheet that shows us what we put in and what we have done and the end
results.
