This is a very cool gadget for all indoor plants people, and work outdoor as well. The only bad thing about this device is that, it is bare naked, meaning if you water on top of it in a long run it will oxidate, in other word the electronic components will deteriorated and will not longer work, but you can take it out every time you re-water the plant pot or just get a protection covering like a test tube that way you can water over it no problem.

So the way this work is pretty much automatic, simply insert battery, stake it to the ground or water. Then when soil if dried or water is empty to certain level, it will chirp, however it will only chirp repeatedly when there are light that way if you have this in your bedroom you do not want it to chirp while you’re sleeping. Cool huh. The best thing is it only cost about $6 on ebay.

Well semi-hydroponic “rau má” like kratky kind of growing. Will see if it grow. Just a cup with “Hydroton Expanded Clay Balls” and masterblend nutrients pour just enough to cover the roots.

Well just in case you do not know, summer already here “Summer 2020 in Northern Hemisphere began on Saturday, June 20” Growing outdoor should have start back in mid or before spring end. If you haven’t start growing yet, it might be too late if you’re from the East Coast like I am.

This year I will be growing tomatoes, cherry tomatoes that is, the kind of tomatoes that does not need any pollination, it is self pollinate. According to some articles I am ready, tomatoes do best with bright sunlight, but not too hot. The weather in the East coast is pretty crazy, summer super hot and humid 90-100, while winter freezing cold and may be snow, but snowing going away. So I’m going back to growing indoor in my basement. read more
