I know posts on automated plant care are very popular on Gadget Master, so I want to highlight this Arduino appnote - Smart Farm Irrigation System Using Arduino Edge Control.

To address this, Instructables user benrbill came up with a game-changing solution: an automatic drip irrigation system powered by Arduino.

As an added benefit, these automated systems are able to save water by limiting the amount of unnecessary irrigation used. That should make summer just a little easier in the garden.

Using AROYA Irrigation Scheduling lets growers attach specific irrigation schedules to harvest groups and recipes, automatically managing irrigation based on the established parameters.
