How do you feel when you step into your garden? For most people, their garden is their refuge and refuge. It is a quiet place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the world and take a few moments. A garden can also feel like a wonderful timeless place that connects you to everyone else who has worked in the garden and grown their own food.
Caring for a garden can be fun, but sometimes it can get a little banal. We live in a technological age in which everything has become easier and more efficient through technology. The garden is no exception. Read on for a brief overview of the high-tech devices you need to install in your garden. These wonderful little devices can make gardening so much easier while increasing your yields.
plants sensors
Plant sensors, as the name suggests, record temperature, light intensity, humidity, soil moisture, soil nutrition and more. They are great for those who live outside the garden and need to take care of their job, family or other things. Like most intelligent sensors, a good plant sensor can connect to an Android or iOS device and send notifications of the current garden conditions. There are more advanced sensors with databases for all types of garden plants and grasses. These sensors make it easier to choose the right plants for your garden based on growing conditions. They also offer lots of helpful advice if something goes wrong.
Commercial farmers have been using plant sensors for years, but have now reached the point where they are economically viable for the mass market. Even hobby gardeners can afford these wonderful sensors. Would you like to take your plant sensor to the next step? Find one that is connected to an irrigation system. They are connected directly to your irrigation devices and synchronized with your phone for extended garden control.
Automated sprinklers
When was the last time you updated your sprinklers? If it's been a while, you might want to think about it. Old sprinkler systems can be difficult to program and, at best, confusing to operate. Modern sprinkler systems are more intuitive and easier to integrate into the rest of your garden. There are intelligent sprinklers and irrigation controls that can be connected to a smartphone and controlled via your phone or simply manually.
One of the best things about using automated sprinklers is that they make it easy to water your landscape in just the right amount. It is too easy to over or under water a garden. Precise control over how much water your garden receives is particularly important in areas where there is a lot of draft or rain.
Robotic lawnmowers
These robotic lawnmower robots are essentially similar to a Roomba that you keep in your garden. Much like a Roomba vacuuming your floors, a robotic lawn mower mows the lawn while you relax in a deck chair and watch the world go by. While these devices are an excellent way to manage one of the most difficult parts of lawn care, they can be quite expensive. The price range varies, with some models costing a few hundred dollars and some more than a few thousand dollars. Another potential problem is their ability to cut grass. Some of them only cut grass a little, so they have to be used more often than if you cut your grass manually yourself. However, it's not a big problem as you still won't cut it.
scarecrow
No, this is not a scarecrow. A man made of straw and wood to keep birds away. This is a ScareCrow; A device that looks more like an automatic sprinkler than a straw man. When any type of garden pest appears – such as a cat, raccoon, or bird – the motion sensors pick them up and fire a jet of water to deter them. Don't worry, the spray will not harm the animals, just surprise them so that they run away. The disadvantage of these wonderful devices is that they are in such high demand that it can be difficult to find one.
What does the future hold for garden tools?
One way to look at garden tools is to see them the same way people see books. There are some people who have no problem using e-books and e-readers, while others swear by physical books and refuse to read electronic ones. Imagine devices in the garden like an e-reader. Some people prefer the simplicity of using automated systems to manage their garden when they are away or when they are tired, while others prefer to get their hands dirty and work in the garden in an old-fashioned way. Most people will likely be a combination of the two; Use gadgets to do everyday and tedious tasks while still giving your green thumb. Find a balance that suits you and your garden.
