Karin and I are interested in making an electronic plant-growing aid. Leveraging Arduino, we would like to make growing a garden easier for people. Ideally, this plant-growing system would sense:
Moisture - the average moisture through out the soil.
Temperature - the air temperature around the plant.
Light - the type and amount of light around the plant.
Location - the plant grower's proximity to the plant.
*Nitrogen - the nitrogen levels in the soil.
*Carbon Dioxide - the amount of CO2 in the plant's air space.
* indicates inputs that may be possible but we are continuing to research.
Through research, we've discovered that many of the sensors we are interested in are available in kits:
soil nutrient sensor
We also discovered that other people have created similar systems to the one we intend on building:
