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!

Gardening gloves with hard tip inners for digging in soil with rocks, clay, etc. It always seems that even with canvas gloves they wear through, or your wife complains about breaking newly refinished nails.

Genetically develop a plant of which every part has a use. Say roots make potatoes, leaves are spinach, flowers are a show and seeds are to eat so were the fruits.

There are many references in various electronic journals, design, or D-I-Y magazines to devices, which deliver water to plants based on monitoring the dryness of the surrounding soil. All of them are electronic circuits, which require power for monitoring and power for the valve that delivers the water. The power has to be low voltage and available at the plant being watered. The idea proposed now is to develop a non-electrical direct acting automatic irrigator, which can be...

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...

Ever been out in the extreme cold, or heat for that matter, mowing the grass, or picking leaves, well, there is a good solution now. Simply install an already manufactured system that allows you to drive your mower from the comfort of your home. Or get a machine with the system built into it. Simply use a remote; with various functions to drive the machine. And how about this, installing your christmas tree is always a pain in you know where; cuz if you don't, well. Anyway, why not get...

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.

This device would not only cut with precision but clamp down on the part of the stem or small branch to be discarded...and when the handle is released, the clamp would release the branch...falling into any trash barrel or bin. The clamping mechanism would operate adjacent to and parallel with the cutter...both functions accomplished by the manual compression of one handle. Advantage...saves either stooping to pick up discarded branches...or eliminates the use of one's other hand to...

Have you ever just put your washing out and then it starts to rain? When you are going off to work the sky looks good but you never know? Washing line throws for rotary washing lines... Simply made of plastic with a hole in the middle and strategic eyelets to secure it. Takes a second to put on but saves all that unecessary taking in the washing for a short rain shower and give those who go to work peace of mind their washing will be dry on their return.

What would one think of this? A sprinkler type head that pops out of the lawn and clips the grass off at a certain height. Make sure someone is not on the -grass- before throwing the switch, okay-right. Each head would cover a radius and by a flick of a switch the job would be done.
