Have you already tired of watering your plants or just have time to do it? So this could definitely be the solution you're looking for, and thanks to the miracle technology we have today, plants are able to be irrigated by themselves .
The system we see in the image, created by Randy Sarafan, works easily and is quite basic. All you need is one of the excellent control plates Arduino, a sensor for soil moisture and a small water pump. How does this work? It is something simple and you probably already have noticed: when the sensor detects that the land of the plant lack moisture, sends a signal to the Arduino board, which causes the pump to give it a refreshed our little green friend until the sensor indicates that the moisture is sufficient. But beware, because for this to work you need to have water pump and the electric power system has provided.
