PlantSense GardenGro USB Sensor - Bodycheck for Your Plants

I will admit up front that I am a house plant killer. If the plant world had a top 10 most notorious plant killers list, I would be right there beside the guy that invented that spray weed killer. If like me, you have a black thumb PlantSense GardenGro may have the product to help you repent from your wicked plant killing ways. PlantSense GardenGro sensors are little USB powered stakes that you push into the soil of your houseplants and connect to your PC (or Mac). The sensor then transmits data to the PlantSense web site and will make you aware of what is causing the untimely demise of your plants.

Is your plant getting to much sun, not enough sun? Are you not watering it enough or perhaps watering it too much. Is your dog watering your plant for you, possibly explaining the odd aroma coming from your fern? The drawback is the cost of the system; each stake will run you $59.95 when they will be finally available in Q4 2008. I’m not so sure I have met a house plant worth sixty bucks to monitor, then again the system may prove very popular with the hippie crowd. The price also includes a year’s access to the PlantSense website where you can chronicle your plants statistics, and track your crimes against the plant kingdom.
