If you are a plant lover one of the most common problems that you might face is to water the plant on time. To solve the problem I made a very easy automatic solution. I know, watering plant by hand is a enjoyable task and every pla...</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Simple Automatic Plant Watering System</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/spring-clean/b/projects/posts/simple-automatic-plant-watering-system</link><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jun 2025 18:36:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9b1f3114-1a5d-4ea0-8467-45a4d5e169b6</guid><dc:creator>DAB</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Nice build.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=28972&amp;AppID=459&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Simple Automatic Plant Watering System</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/spring-clean/b/projects/posts/simple-automatic-plant-watering-system</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jun 2025 21:14:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9b1f3114-1a5d-4ea0-8467-45a4d5e169b6</guid><dc:creator>beacon_dave</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;A nice project that a lot of people could benefit from.
