Plants soak up energy from visible light. Sick ones soak up less. To see the difference, replace the infrared filter in a digicam with a blue one from Public Lab ($10). Then upload your shots for processing at infragram.org and pinpoint failing plants before their problems start.

Nibbly deer! Pesky raccoons! Cower before the Garden Gnome Drone! It's a Parrot AR.Drone ($300) linked to infrared motion detectors and a computer-vision nav system on an Arduino microcontroller board. When invaders trip the detectors, the drone executes a defensive pattern, then returns to its base to recharge. DIY instructions at gardengnomedrone.com.

Let people who love sore backs and dirty fingernails painstakingly tend their gardenias. Today's backyard should be a maximized, automated, hyperefficient system of caloric production. With a little science-and some engineering prowess-you can keep your plot tidy, pest-free, and healthy while barely lifting a finger. So kick back with a gin-spiked kombucha and let your self-maintaining yard crank out the zero-mile arugula.
