EasyBloom

 The easyBloom plant sensor is an amazing little gadget that combines two of my favorite things, gardening and technology. It is a simple way to grow a better garden. I test drove two different plots in recommend mode, both in our backyard, and not too far apart from each other. Imagine my surprise at just how different the spots really were. Both got similar amounts of sunlight, but the water content was different with one area being mostly dry, while the other was totally wet. The sensor has three different modes:

  • Recommend: learn about the area then get recommendations on which plants would grow best in that spot.
  • Monitor: use the sensor next to an existing plant to track how it's doing, get feedback on what it needs to do better, etc.
  • Water: simply stick the sensor in the dirt next to a plant and hear a beep alarm if it needs watering.

The first two modes will launch the software that runs online to get recommendations and also to keep a nice record of all the areas that you have tested. When you connect the sensor to your computer via the USB connector for the first time, you will register and get the software (it runs online). Then you can set which mode you want your sensor to be in (done only through the software, my only complaint because it would be nice to be able to change modes on the actual sensor). The easyBloom comes with extra petals, batteries, a USB cord which is helpful for those of us with laptops, and a holder that you can put on the wall or stand on it's own. To see a better example of how it works, visit the how it works section of the site. There is even a video that you can watch to get an even better feel. It's really so simple to use, and so very cool to get recommendations and personalized information about our garden. I have a feeling our garden is going to be even more amazing thanks to the easyBloom. You can buy your own EasyBloom Plant Sensor for just $59.95. It's well worth the price (and it qualifies for free shipping too). So, if you love the garden and gadgets, the easyBloom is for you!
