Mr Nodiggity

Ask the no-dig oracle

Plain-spoken AI gardening advice in the no-dig spirit

Mr Nodiggity's chat, suggesting "What can I plant this month?" and "Are my slugs winning?"

the why

I built Mr Nodiggity as a deep dive into RAG: an AI that answers from a curated knowledge base instead of the open internet. The no-dig method has a contained body of writing, which made it a good subject to test that on.

who it's for

Home gardeners who want practical, low-effort advice without wading through long tutorials or contradictory forum threads.

what it does

  • AI gardening answers grounded in the no-dig method
  • Plain language, no horticultural jargon
  • Free to use, no signup
  • Works in any modern browser
