Show HN: Plant Subscription Service
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- akcreek 13y agoI love this... wish I was in the delivery area (about 2,000 miles away in Louisville, KY) as my wife and I have been wanting to expand our selection of plants, but neither of us have the knowledge off hand nor the time to invest in learning right now. Lots of things to learn higher up on the list still. This certainly solves a problem we have.
- brimtown 13y agoGives new meaning to the term 'growth hack'
- Bjorkbat 13y agoGreat idea. As a former horticulture major who dropped out, became an organic farmer, and then somehow found myself studying computer science, I often marveled at how so many people had really awful black thumbs. The concept of plant nutrition eluded most people. Water made sense, sunlight made sense, nitrogen didn't.
- paxtonab 13y ago90210 to see products. I like it. I want the herb garden. But I want to know exactly what herbs I am getting. Or is that information already on your site?
- ClintonWu 13y agoChanges depending on the month/season but right now it's different varieties of thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano and sometimes lavender.......
- tvladeck 13y ago(Just one data point, so take it how you like) I'm a customer for 1/3 to 1/2 the price. I would sacrifice quality along with a lower price. My profile is: -wants plants -knows nothing about plants -doesn't have any plants -values having any plants much more highly than having the right plants
- joubert 13y agoneat. what happens when my plant dies?
- saurik 13y agoI had "hoped" the reason it was a "subscription service" is that, clearly if you send someone like me a plant it will die, so the only real solution is to "subscribe" to receiving new plants every month; it sounded like a genius idea.
- ClintonWu 13y agoplanning to sell refills without pots for when that happens.....
- ClintonWu 13y agosorry everyone, posted this and got caught up in family stuff for the holidays. fail
