Unlike a ‘Second Brain’ or ‘Zettelkasten’, a digital garden not about storage or retrieval. It’s not a’system’. Seeds (Ideas) are planted and over time they grow. If the garden is left unkept, bad ideas will grow too. It therefore requires maintenance, care and tending to.

Digital Gardening Is About Process
Link Explanation:
Part of the process of digital gardening is not maintenance. Many note taking systems are about top down structure - designed and implemented. They don’t allow for the messy reality where ideas and topics intertwine and grow together. Digital gardening, instead, is bottom up. But, that also means that part of the craft means tending to the garden. Pulling weeds and fertilizing it so that it grows in a meaningful way.
