| The plant doctor is a compendium of advice for identifying and treating all sorts of problems. It offers lists and pictures for determining what the problem might be but does not give specific directions. The user must make a choice and then determine what to do and how to do it. If the choice is inappropriate, the garden will indicate this by giving feedback. |
| Insecticides will give the option of specific chemicals for the treatment of insect infestation and/or disease. The information will be similar to the directions found on the containers if bought at the store. The user determines the amount and mode of delivery. |
| Natural Solutions will give some alternative and environmentally friendly methods of dealing with problems. It could be companion planting of plants that naturally repel insects or pests or the introduction of beneficial lifefoms such as lady bug beetles or preying mantises. |
| Physical Solutions will give advice on mechanical protection and prevention, such as fences or Havaheart traps or using ultrasonics to deter animal pests. |
