Great New Gardening Gadgets
The wonderful thing about living in the era we do is the technological advancements such as the internet, cell phones, microwaves, and on and on. Vegetable gardening is no different. Science and technology advancements have turned many gardening processes from being back-breaking work to simple tasks that take minutes instead of hours or days. Not to mention giving us gardeners the knowledge and tools to grow ever better vegetables.
The advancement of growing fruits and vegetables is still pushing forward with the introduction of several new gadgets in recent years. These new gadgets can help you keep your garden going all season long.
Personally, I feel there is nothing wrong with trying or using new tools, but a new fandangled gadget should not be used to completely rely on for gardening help. It is hard to replace hands on experience, sharing knowledge with fellow gardeners, reading, and just getting out there and getting dirty.
EasyBloom Plant Sensor
The first new gardening gadget available is the EasyBloom Plant Sensor
The EasyBloom is embedded with sensors that will record such things as temperature, moisture content, and humidity. After 24 hours, you then pull the device up, and plug it back into your computer. Then log in to the EasyBloom website to find out the results. The EasyBloom website boasts a plant library consisting of over 5,000 different plant profiles. The website will then give you suggestions to diagnose what is ailing your plants or what would best be suited for growing in that area.
I have not personally used EasyBloom, but it sounds like a nifty tool to have. It would be very interesting to find out how bad I might be messing up!

The NatureMill Automatic Indoor Compost Bin

Compost will then transfer to the lower chamber, so that fresh kitchen waste can be addedback in the top chamber. The lower chamber also features a slide-out drawer that eases the removal of the compost. Their website claims it will supply you with fresh, ready to use compost every two weeks.
This seems to be a great item for anyone that is interested in easily producing their own compost, and wants to cut down on their kitchen wastes from going to the landfill. Remember, only organic kitchen wastes (vegetation) should be used in making compost. Meats and diary products, among other items, should never be used.

Prepara Power Plant Mini

Their website claims that all you need to do is seed it, feed it, and leave it. They also say that you can use just about any type of seeds from fruits, to vegetables, to flowers. This is a handy planter for those that live in apartments or don’t have much garden area. You now have no excuse not to grow your own great tasting and fragrant herbs!
