Gardening Research
Hello, I posted in here a while ago looking for participants to help me with my dissertation research. My final year engineering project is to design an assistive gardening tool.
I have decided to share my questionnaire here in the hopes of getting some feedback with regards to people's gardening habits and experiences.
The questionnaire is open to anyone and everyone who gardens, regardless of experience.

If you follow the link, the questionnaire should not take longer than 5-7minutes to complete. I appreciate any and all feedback you might have. If you experience any issues, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me at [email protected]

I think you should clarify if you want responses about tools being used because of a disability or an infirmity, or just any garden tools.
Also, for future reference, it is best to leave the personal questions about age, gender etc to the end. Engage the respondent’s attention before asking for the personal information. Asking, indeed insisting, on an email address as your first question is a major faux pas.
I wonder whether the final question might somehow be worded differently; I answered that I was "neither likely nor unlikely" to use a new assistive gardening tool, but wanted to say "likely if I can forsee its use for me personally, otherwise not". (Someone once gave me a long-handled trowel, which I've never used - I can see it might be helpful for a gardener who found it difficult to bend, but it's much less useful for me, as my problem would be with my eyesight at that sort of distance, not with bending...)
Good luck with your research.
