Green Thumbs Up for EasyBloom Plant Sensor

Spring is in the air, well at least here in Miami. Unlike some states that Alabama, N. Carolina and Atlanta who got unseasonable snow fall last week.

But many if us don’t what to plant or buy the wrong ones. I found a quick and easy solution, that turns your brown thumb into a green one in just minutes.

The EasyBloom Plant Sensor consists of two gadgets, a USB-enabled processor, and the sensor it plugs into that you also will stick into your soil.

This space-age in-ground sensor reads and analyzes growing conditions in specific spots inside your home or in your yard. It measures sunlight, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and drainage. It even uses the same technology used on NASA’s Mars Phoenix mission to measure the soil. Our tax dollars really working for us this time.

After just 24 hours, you just plug the part sticking out of the ground and into your computer USB port and watch as it turns easy to read readings into recommendations, listing plants that will thrive in your area. Want more information, do a more advanced search for desired bloom color or season, plant height, drought tolerant, bug resistant and more.

It will cost you $60, but save you much more in wasted time and money.
