Hi all,

as part of my class I have to solve some garden related problems through
product design. This could be anything from a task being too hard to do/
to reach/ break etc

- Can you think of any products (e.g. sprinklers, spray gungs, mowers,
blowers etc) that could be improved in some way or could be better
designed for certain gardening niche markets (e.g. different climates,
large/small gardens, disabilities etc).

- Are there some problems which still haven't been solved through design
and so designing a totally a new product for the travel market? Or
adding a feature to a product to improve it in some way.

Thanks guys, really appreciate any help and would love to hear your
responses.

Tom

Improve the "spike" sprinklers such that they shoot out the spray
evenly. I use these all the time for lawn and flower/plant beds,and
am constantly exasperated because they spray so unevenly. A small
thing, but a major annoyance.
