The pots on the roof that need watering twice a day
Buy nothing yetMove the table before you buy the pergola.
Before you buy a pergola, move the table.
Every change below is put into the plan and the whole model is run again. That is why a pergola's winter cost shows up here without anybody having written it down, and why the cheapest thing that actually buys hours back is allowed to win.

Where it stands now
Something growing here
In a pot works for growing things across a day like this.
“Works” means the model's weighted checks support this use, and no reading is past its own limit. A reading listed as close still needs attention; it does not mean every reading passed.
- Usable light is inside what this use needs: 25.4 mol/m2/day against at least 6 mol/m2/day.
- Hours of direct sun is inside what this use needs: 11h against at least 1.5h.
- How long it stays wet is inside what this use needs: about 8h against at most 10h.
Confidence medium (60%). Enough to point in a direction, not enough to buy against.
What this answer was built from
- Use
- Something growing here
- Place
- In a pot
- Weather
- Hot and humid, long cooling season (scenario shape) (from a published source)
- Method
- A whole day in October, traced against the scene rather than read at one hour
NoteSomething growing here is read across a whole day or year rather than at one hour, so single changes are compared on the questions pages instead. Go there.
