Feature Ideas » Water mode, enhancement possible?
So we all know that when you set the EasyBloom to Water Mode you get instant feedback if your plant needs water... My question / suggestion : Can the EasyBloom be set in such as way so that a certain number of beeps/flashes tell you how moist the soil is? In other words, if the plant needs water beep X times for "Wet", Y times for "Moist" and Z times for "Dry" ??
Thank you for your reply's! I will experiment a bit with the soil moisture sensor. One thing I've noticed that is that the soil in my yard is very nearly all clays, you could very easily make mud bricks just by forming and drying, hence the soil retains a moist "nastyness" about it while sometimes the plants wilt and "beg" for water because the soil is holding onto it and won't let go. Thanks again!
My wife and I have finally started to spruce up the house with some gardens, and being a "techie" when I saw the EasyBloom I had to get one. My very first reading was for a Fuchsia in a hanging basket... We were thumbs up on everything but water, it's reported as "Too Wet!" I'm in St. Louis Mo (Zone 5b) and we purchased the plant this year for outside while it's nice and then inside for the winter. Since it's a store bought plant, I'm guessing re-potting is in order. I have several books on Gardening, but all have differing opinions on soil. Is there a "one size fits all" soil for most decorative plants (commercial potting mix, vs. "do it yourself", etc.)?? In case you need this info: Plant view page: Moisture Data = Solid blue for 24 hours Sunlight, temp, and humidity all "good"
