Problem that you face in the garden

Im a product designer and am looking at the garden at the moment. It would be great if you could address your problem(s) on this thread, any problem big or small, weather its aches and pains or the lack of a piece of equipment. Thanks

    16 months of drought and no end in sight.  Can you design a foolproof rain dance?

  • Product designers who want to design things for gardens but have no idea about gardening so they keep asking us to do their job for them ... They're probably one of the most annoying and recurring problems we gardeners have faced this year. 

    If you can come up with a way of alleviating this problem we would all be most grateful image

    One problem begging for a solution is that of bogus forum members who post for marketing purposes only.

    Deep shade on the north side of walls and fences.  If you can get the sun to move round further before setting that would be wonderful.

    The biggest problem I have regarding my garden is that I don't have enough money to do everything I want to do. 

    If you could address that issue at your earliest convenience, I should be much obliged.

  • Perhaps the OP would like some serious suggestions!  I guess it's a matter of someone trying to do research for a valid reason, though that's not always the case, as most posters on this website do know.

    Suburban gardeners don't have to deal with some of the issues that people in rural areas have - e.g. moles and wild rabbits.  If somebody could come up with a totally fool-proof and effective means of deterring both, I for one would be glad to give it a try.
