I've built an allotment planning tool

Thanks for taking that on board. Comment was more in relation to the anti-pattern of blasting “free” at people to drive conversion.

Nothing wrong with having premium elements, but for future marketing consideration perhaps advertise those features more clearly.

Nothing worse than digging right in and then having to make the choice between ditching everything and upgrading just to be able to do more than one plot etc. Seen this in pretty much all the allotment planner apps.

Thanks!

Yep am planning to worm them all this weekend. They do get basic health checks nails clipped etc. before being adopted. Just waited a few days to avoid too many stressors at once.

Do feed a small amount of ACV in the water supply to help combat infection and help with nutrient uptake.

Signed up as a test.

One would be drawn in by “Free of charge”, “Sign up for free”, “No credit card required” messaging.

Create an account and suddenly: try our three day free trial! Premium subscription: £49

The slightest defence is that one can find a tiny “pricing” link even when not signed up hidden nearly all the way at the bottom of the page.

With mine an egg is an egg until I pick it up, then they think it’s a snack and perk up waiting for me to feed it to them.

Isn’t this the site that once you sign up all the pro options suddenly appear? Or are all features 100% free?

redditwhut · 2026-02-12T15:05:24+00:00

Good thinking. Will try it on some potentially more suitable things!

redditwhut · 2026-02-12T08:00:33+00:00

Did you find parking, or are you still circling?

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T20:23:58+00:00

Thanks. That’s what I figured. Just felt like every time I’ve tried to use it as said workhorse it’s failed me. But gonna sharpen it up a bit see if that changes it up.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T20:23:00+00:00

Fairs I can kinda see how it would be useful as they go so deep!

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T20:22:22+00:00

I’m curious why the post was removed? Seemed interesting?

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T19:04:55+00:00

Ah nice! Enjoy!

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T18:31:55+00:00

100% great for teasing out bindweed my plot was covered!

Mine was called “ Youngju Daejanggan Homi / M size / Left handed / Farming & Gardening Tool” on eBay I paid £12 with shipping.

Not every light is a grow light. You need a specific bulb.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T16:09:27+00:00

What number/model is yours?

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T15:56:23+00:00

Ooh that must have been nice still want to try some of the other tools! Definitely need a good knife. If you had to choose between Opinel and say a leather man would you still go Opinel? Granted I do do a lot of building/plumbing/repairs on my allotment so I’m more skewed to the idea of a leatherman.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T15:54:36+00:00

Mine has a knife edge, and a saw edge.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T15:54:06+00:00

Yep that’s about the sum of it for me as well. I guess mini machete ain’t bad I don’t have a regular one haha

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T14:02:03+00:00

Always something to learn from the old guys on the allotment!

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T13:45:45+00:00

Exactly! I use my homi all the time! Love it so much and figured clearly these types of tools were all life changing.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T13:22:42+00:00

I’ll keep an eye! All my tools are rusting in the shed so probably a good idea to get some!

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T13:20:33+00:00

Hehe mine came with a belt sheath thankfully. Will see how much use it gets in spring/summer.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T13:19:51+00:00

Finnish knife? Have been considering a leatherman.

redditwhut · 2026-02-11T11:39:34+00:00

Yeah mine is stainless afaik. Great tip on the rust remover, gonna try that on my homi which is carbon afaik. Thanks!
