Rudimentary GIS database for permaculture and market farming sites using inexpensive equipment..

Maker dad Ron Fugelseth and his 4-year-old son sent the boy's favorite toy train eighteen miles up into the stratosphere aboard a weather balloon outfitted with an HD camera and salvaged cell phone for GPS.

Cellphone GPS + laptop + Google Earth + onsite video/photos + location description text + wiki

I don't know how fine the cellphone GPS locator is but if small enough
coordinates could be logged into a record for a particular garden site, for example, add Google Earth snapshot + on site video/photos and description of garden and crops grown therein..
