Different plants need different amounts of sunlight, but how do we find put how much sunlight your garden gets? In this post, we will find out how to measure sun in the garden.
This method for measuring sun in the garden is called a sun log. All you have to do is every couple of hours, take a picture of your garden space. Then, look at which pictures show your garden in sunlight. Then you know how many hours of sun your garden gets. Here is an example:
Using these pictures, I can see that my garden bed gets dappled sunlight at 10:30, and then goes onto shade for the rest of the day. Now what I should do is I should take pictures of my garden bed at 8 to 11 to see exactly how many hours my garden bed gets.
That’s it! Thanks for reading this post, if you have any questions, comment down below and I’ll be happy to answer!

How do you do this for indoor plants and knowing how to put them in the right place for moderate lighting? I feel like my plants move based on the sunlight direction, and it is very confusing.

Hi, that is a good question. There are a couple of options here. You can make a sun log for the spot where you want to put your plant, or you can just put your plant in that spot and see what happens. If your plant gets long and leggy, it needs more sunlight.
