This is the sort of product where she really needs some sort of large order or interest in a large order.. perhaps from a care home provider or a council who would want to install them into old peoples homes etc.

wheelbarrow thing is good. I've often got annoyed at everything falling out of the wheelbarrow at my allotment when it's nowhere near as heavy as I could push (so plenty more capacity if it would just stop falling out)

This looks like the big one! Orders in place and they like it = winner!

Yes I mentioned that some time ago. Strange isn't it?
The wheelbarrow thing is a good idea but that man is a plank! |

He can use that wheelbarrow to pick up the soil he keeps digging for himself...

Hurrah! The last pitch wasn't an investment for once.

The old man should have gone into the negotiations with a poker face and not opened his big mouth at the first offer.
Having said that, good product why give away 50% of what looks like a sure fire hit of a product. |

From dads body language (and a dragon picked up and commented on it) I wonder if he really did want/intend to accept any investment and just saw the programme as a bit of free publicity for his product and company ?

I also didn't like the way they tried to make the dad feel that he was killing his son's future by not agreeing to bend over for them. They tore him apart for not being willing to negotiate, but I didn't see them doing any either. The second offer was exactly the same as the one that had been turned down. |

I agree. Half the company for a measly 50k was being way over the top considering the interest from the garden centres that they were talking to.

I hope the dad and son do well on their own... |
