Hi Guys,

My name is Matt Oakley and I am a final year Product design Engineer
at Loughborough University. I am currently starting a project to
design a product, which aides plant watering. I need some customer
focused research and would really appreciate 5 minutes of your time.
I have setup a web based survey, which takes only a few minutes and
is very simple. It can be found at the folowing address:

'Market Research - Product Template Survey'
(http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q978N76)

I hope you can help.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Question #1

1. How often do you water plants in your garden?

Daily
2-3 Time per Week
Weekly
Monthly
Never

The best answer is not offered. Before you start to design a watering
system you should probably know why this is so.

The best answer is "When it is needed" which for any garden depends on the
time of year and weather. Look up 'evapotranspiration'.

In my case the frequency would vary from 3 days to 90 days. But if people
know that and live in that sort of climate your product has no market. But
this is a well trodden path you are going down so nothing new there.
