Consumer Research & Data Collection
How people really keep house and garden, not how magazines say they should.
Most home and garden advice is one writer’s routine or a picture-perfect ideal. Digstalk adds what real readers actually do: how they clean, what they grow and what they’d never give up, collected anonymously and shared back with you.
Housework & garden polls
How do you clean? Shoes off at the door? Keep the lawn or dig it up? Tap once and see how other households do it.
Lived it?
On our then-vs-now posts, tap Lived it, Remember it or Before my time, and see how many readers really did it that way.
Hearts, and why
Heart or thumbs-down a photo and say why in one tap, so you see what readers like and the reasons behind it.
Anonymous, totals only
