I know a few years ago there was a thread on Matrix Planting / Group Areas (which got a little toxic - so four years ago!) but I would like to float an idea if I may.

How about a tool that creates a modular mix automatically?

So the workflow would look something like this . . .

• Draw an indicative test area
• Manually plant out the area with the plants you require at the various sizes and spacing you require
• Select the amazing Modular Planting Tool (MPT), which would ask you to select your indicative area
• On the selection of your area, the MPT would read the planting within the area and calculate the mix settings that would match what you have manually drawn
• The MPT would then prompt you to name your mix and insert it into your concept planting mix list 

Wow how good would that be?

If this tool already exists please reply with "are you stupid or something?"
