I have the idea which could help to increase crop yield by 10-20 percent. Why not develop a liquid foam shading system that mimics cloud cover? Such a system will make it possible to automatically shade greenhouses. This foam will filter the sunlight (i.e. will reduce solar radiation and control temperature) while still providing the plants with the light needed for photosynthesis. There also will be sensors to monitor the conditions within the greenhouse.

Do you still use rake to pick up leaves in your yard? I suggest a new idea how to make your yard clean easily. What about a vacuum with a bag attached which you can place on your back? It could look like an industrial blower but it would pick the leaves up instead of blow them away. It could have either electrical or gas engine. Such a vacuum will definitely save time and make the yard work a little easier.

Why not invent a "smart" Christmas tree - one capable of retaining its needles for twice the normal length of time?

There are plants which are highly preferred in Feng Shui: * Plants of rounded form; * Plants of rounded form with rounded and thick leaves; * Plants with flowers of bright colors and large size; * All sorts of lianas and vine.

Plants with thick and lush rounded leaves (mainly succulents) attract wealth to the house....

My idea is to combine a lawn mower with a sprayer. There should be a gallon tank at the front or side of mower with a pump to spray fertilizer, bug spray, water, etc. while you're mowing the lawn.

A simple spray on solvent to get rid of all those spider webs messing around our front doors (that we have to walk through, yuck!) and to rid them from our flowers and gardens. Anywhere the web is will be this spray to get rid of it!

There's a growing trend for people to steal refuse bins so why not use an alarm that sounds when the bin is taken more than 20 metres from your gate (or whatever). Or for wheelie bins a brake that stops them from being wheeled away.

With help from a new device and its accompanying app, gardeners will be able to grow healthy plants. Sensors will track sunlight, humidity, temperature and fertilizer levels. When paired with the application for iOS, the device will send data via Bluetooth to notify the gardener about the plant's changing needs. The application will be programmed with information about the requirements of thousands of different plants, which will allow it to respond specifically to each plant's...

I was thinking of about 5 tall poles maybe the size of broom handles, with two circular trays. One tray placed in the centre near the top, and the other tray on the outside of the poles for annual plants. Your plants would stand out and you wouldn't have to place heaps of soil for this high effect. Just an outside decorative idea.

Hows this for an idea - a small metal ball (maybe 1' x 1') with spikes (2-7" each) to plow your yard for you (think of the agricultural purposes!) that runs off of solar energy! You can put a chip into it that makes it run for a certain distance (say, 100 meters), turn about a foot, and come back, then repeat until you use a remote to click it off! You can even put seeds in a container inside and have it automatically plant them at whatever distance you tell it to (retractable/extendable...
