What it is:
A computerized plant sensor that takes the guesswork out of gardening.
Why we love it:
Even seasoned gardeners wish they had more information when their plants aren't thriving. Using the same technology as NASA's Mars Phoenix mission, the EasyBloom sensor reads and analyzes growing conditions in specific spots inside your home or in your yard. After a minimum of 24 hours, you just plug it into your computer USB port and watch as it turns readings into recommendations, listing plants sure to flourish in your exact environment. Narrow your search more by specifying desired bloom color or season, plant height, drought tolerant, deer resistant, and other features. Use their website to track your plants and create your own plant library. EasyBloom is completely reusable and works with your PC or Mac.
Where to get it:
