product ideas (just for gardeners) (cross posts deleted)
"Jane Ransom" wrote in message ... In article , Chris writes I am in the final year of a technology education degree course, part of which involves designing a product and manufacturing it to prototype stage. The product has to be original, or better designed, than any similar product on the market. I am posting this message to a number of newsgroups in the hope that someone will have a problem with a product they use, or can't find a product to suit their requirements in the market place. I would appreciate any (sensible) suggestions. If you are designing anything for the garden with a long handle, please make the handle longer that would be required for a dwarf!!! I am fed up with having to bend over shears, power hoses, lawn edgers, spades. Not doing my back any good at all  ((-- Jane Ransom in Lancaster. I won't respond to private emails that are on topic for urg but if you need to email me for any other reason, put ransoms at jandg dot demon dot co dot uk where you see Jane, There are long handled spades available about 19 different types to be exact. I can give you a phone number if you like. Also, Gardenia (multifunctional tools) and possibly Wolf , do a half-moon attachment, thereby giving you a long handle to work with. & there is the crux of the matter for the o.p. I notice gardenia consistently come out with brilliant product idea but somehow they just as diligently seem to get these ideas from somewhere and then convert into garbage. Either, their handle for the idea is too short, or long enough but to weak, or just plain rubbish all round. They seem to have done this with just about every one of their products. They would be the kings of the amature irrigationists if their product was not so drastically inclined to leak all over the place if you so much as looked at it the wrong way. No wonder that other companies such as hoselock are getting ahead. They have a few items which I'm hoping find their way unto the Wolf range... like the gutter cleaner, the ponds stuffs and so on. As I said, wonderful ideas, shame about the product!!! Why oh why oh WHY??? Not that wolf itself couldn't do with handles that don't absorb as much of the energy that is supposed to be directed at the task at hand. But at least they're also a nicer... easier to find in the garden afterwards... colour. Patrick |
