Enhanced Prompt: Detailed Soil Moisture Planning and Plant Selection for Optimal Garden Health

Objective:
To design a garden that accommodates varying soil moisture levels across different areas, ensuring plant compatibility and maximizing growth, health, and yield. This involves a comprehensive analysis of soil conditions, selection of appropriate plant species, and implementation of sustainable practices.

Deliverables:

1. A detailed soil moisture analysis report, including soil moisture levels (low, moderate, high) across garden zones.
2. A plant selection plan tailored to the identified soil moisture conditions, including drought-tolerant and moisture-loving species.
3. A maintenance schedule incorporating mulching, watering, and soil amendments to maintain optimal moisture levels.
4. A written report outlining the rationale for plant choices and the implementation of soil moisture management strategies.
5. A visual guide (e.g., soil moisture map) to assist in garden layout and plant placement.

Industry Best Practices and Standards:

• Adhere to the National Greenhouse Gas Protocol for soil moisture management.
• Follow USDA soil moisture classification guidelines (low, moderate, high).
• Consider the soil texture, organic matter, and pH when selecting plants.
• Incorporate a mix of native and stress-resistant varieties to enhance resilience.

Quality Expectations:

• Achieve a minimum plant survival rate of 90% within the first growing season.
• Ensure a 10% increase in garden yield compared to non-optimized gardens.
• Maintain a 95% customer satisfaction rate with garden health and appearance.

Technical Considerations:
