Remembering to water them is arguably a non-geographical problem.This project is a highly customizable autonomous plant irrigation system.

Your presentation was very thorough and well written. I built a much simpler plant watering device years ago so I could go on vacation but mine used reciprocating solenoid pumps and simple light timers to periodically provide water. Do you have a pressurized water source so that you could use solenoids instead of pumps to control delivery of the water to the plants?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7813&AppID=235&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/avnetboardscommunity/azure-sphere-starter-kits/b/blog/posts/urban-farmingTue, 03 Dec 2019 11:51:20 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1fd5b51a-3aa3-48fe-a968-15f23bd544c6javagoza1<p>I love your project and the design of the device.
