Planting decisions are easier Mar 15, 2010 The EasyBloom Plant Sensor has come in quite handy for making (or breaking) some of my gardening decisions. When I use recommend mode, it will tell me what kind of water levels, sun exposure, and temperatures that area is getting. When I review these results, I can also click on links to view other plants that would grow well in the environment it found.
The monitor mode gives you suggestions to improve the growth of whatever plant you've told it is growing there, prior to it's data collection. I used this feature at the end of winter, even though it was too cold to actually plant anything, just to see what it would say if it really thought I was. I told it I was planting peas, and it gave great feedback. It didn't just tell me the soil was too wet, it gave me tips on how to improve the moisture levels of my soil - by using it's water monitoring feature or what to use in my soil to encourage drainage. For temperature, it gave me suggestions of other locations I could plant where the sunlight would be warmer.
I haven't used the water monitoring feature yet.

Love it, but one tiny thing I would change. Mar 10, 2010 I think this is a great product. Genius actually. There's just one tiny thing I would change. I was hoping it would give me exact temperature measurements. Instead it gives the average and shows a line graph that shows temps as (Moderate, Hot, Very Hot, Below Freezing, etc.) I was hoping to use this for plants that I protect in the winter time, placing it under the protection to record how effective the protection was. I guess I would know if it went below freezing, so that's good. It's still going to be useful and I think I will be using it a lot to record all the microclimates around the yard. Maybe they can update the temps feature with a software update? hint hint ; )
Great Product Mar 03, 2010 Love it and its so easy to use i would definitely recommend it for the green thumb

Useless Feb 24, 2010 It does nothing more than tells you if the plant is getting enough sun and water. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that!

Disappointed with EasyBloom sensor!! Feb 04, 2010 The sensor is not water proof so it is not suitable for unattended data collection outdoors. Also the sensor has to connect to the Internet to change set mode, download data, change mode which means I can not buy the additional sensors and collect data outside which makes it worthless to me. I am very disappointed there is no software I can use on my netbook or PDA. If the company goes out of business, the sensor is useless!!!!!!!!!!!!
