Garden & home helper — advice on demand.

A master gardener and a patient handyman, both on call. Describe what you see — yellow leaves, a running toilet, a drafty window — and get calm, step-by-step help sized to what you are comfortable doing.

GardenAsk like you would ask a neighbor

Include where you live and what you see: "I’m in Minnesota. My tomato leaves are turning yellow from the bottom up — what is likely wrong?" Location matters for planting times, so mention your state or the nearest big city.

Try typingI live in [your state]. What vegetables and flowers should I plant in [month], and which ones are the least work for the reward?

HomeSmall fixes, sized to you

Describe the problem and ask for steps "for someone who is careful but not a handyman." AI will also tell you honestly which jobs are worth calling someone for — and what a fair price range looks like.

Try typingMy toilet keeps running after flushing. Explain the likely cause and give me careful step-by-step instructions to check it, written for a beginner. Tell me when I should call a plumber instead.

Know your limitsThe safety line

Anything involving the electrical panel, gas, roofs, or ladders past the second step — ask AI to help you describe the problem to a professional instead. It will write you a clear description so the pro shows up with the right parts.

Good habit

Before calling a repair person, ask AI what the fix typically costs. Walking in with a fair range prevents overcharging.

Your turn

Pick one nagging thing:

  1. One garden question or one small home annoyance.
  2. Describe it with details (location, what you see, what you tried).
  3. Follow the steps — or get the "describe it to a pro" version.

What you can do now

  • Get planting advice matched to your region
  • Fix small household problems step by step
  • Know which jobs to leave to professionals
  • Check fair repair prices before you call
