EasyBloom - A techy way to garden.

If you’re looking for a techy way to welcome spring, what’s greener than gardening?

If your thumbs spend more time on the space bar than being “green,” then perhaps there is a garden gadget for you.

Created by a former Cisco employee, EasyBloom is a plant sensor ($59 @ Amazon) that monitors sunlight, humidity, soil properties, and other conditions that affect plant health and, after plugging the sensor back into your computer’s standard USB drive, it recommends plants (and even tells you what might be wrong with your dying plants).

After analyzing your indoor or outdoor conditions, the device refers you to the online database of plants. Plus, the product includes sensors with dielectric capacitance technology used on the NASA Mars Pioneer mission to measure soil drainage (cnet).

It’s most definetly less than hiring a gardener/consultant… like Hans, our german gardener back home in Ohio (he liked to compare every plant to a woman, interesting i know).
