“Monitors soil moisture and weather forecasts to give plants just the water they need. Safe garden hose hookup for season long watering. OK, so let me just say that I approached this project with a little trepidation - water, code and electricity don’t mix well in my mind. I imagined creating a project that, if it failed, could waste hundreds of gallons of water and I might not be on-hand to stop it. That said, I have spent some time tending to the plants on my back deck and I did not want them to wilt and die when I was away. I know there are many plant watering projects on Hackster.io and the web. However, the ones I looked at did not meet my needs or address my concerns, so, I decided to make my own. I also saw this as a chance to improve my skills on the Particle Platform.”
