Grower Perspectives
Hundreds of hours of practical advice and wisdom, indexed and catalogued across thousands of videos from UK allotment and gardening channels on YouTube.
As a new allotment owner and first-time gardener, looking up “how do I do this?” was a daily occurrence. I automated the search to speed up my own learning journey—finding useful moments from real allotments and gardens, shared by the people who actually grew, built or tried the thing being discussed.

Early and maincropPlot journal
Your season, as it happened.
A photograph and a few words can hold the detail you would otherwise forget. Record the work, wildlife, problems and small victories while they are still fresh.
- Add a quick note from the plot
- Keep photographs with the right planting
- Look back across visits and seasons
Private photographs. Useful context. No social feed.
A record that earns its keep
Your plot has a memory. Give it somewhere to live.
Keep planting dates, varieties, locations, harvest notes and outcomes together. When the next season begins, your own evidence is more useful than a generic calendar.
- See what grew in each bed and when
- Connect quick notes to the right planting
- Carry successes and mistakes into next year

Built from the plot up
I’m building the tool I need each week.
I’m Wayne, a software developer of 12 years and a new UK allotment grower learning my way around a 40 × 10 metre plot.
Allotment Pro is being actively developed around the problems I meet there: remembering what I sowed, deciding what matters on the next visit, and keeping this season’s lessons for the next one.
This is practical software tested through real visits and real seasons — not a finished answer handed down from an expert grower.
Private by default
Your growing record belongs to you.
Your plot, notes and seed library start as a personal workspace. Collaboration may come later, but sharing will always be deliberate and under your control.
Allotment Pro
Spend less time remembering.
Spend more time growing.
The first version is taking shape now, one real allotment problem at a time.
