Soil moisture sensor

This workshop was dedicated to plants and their watering. Since we haven’t yet learned how to speak like plants, watering our green friends is still a rather unreliable science, because we can’t know for sure when plants need more water and when they have it too much. In the three hours that the workshop took, the participants built a tool that tells us when the plant needs water, when it has excess water and when it’s had precisely enough.
