Description
The Auto Planter is a 4 week project exploring the connection between humans and nature through the food that we consume. This planter features Soil Moisture Sensors that detect when the herbs and micro-greens planted need watering. The planter then automatically waters the plants for you, mitigating the daily nuisance of keeping up with your plants. In many ways, this planter functions as an incubator.
