More open source farm projects
- DIY Arduino Garden Projects: Learn how to build a self-watering system so you don’t need to water plants every time your soil moisture sensor lights up
- The Thirsty Flamingo Project - an Instructables project that uses the same sensor used in this project, a 3D printed flamingo, and an Arduino to level-up the moisture sensor
Full Kit Contents List
Things sometimes break or get lost, it's part of making and tinkering! If you need to replace a part here is a list of the individual components that make up the Red Hat Co. Lab Farm Kit from the SparkFun catalog.
Remember that you'll need to add your own seeds and a container!
