Gardening and technology aren't mutually exclusive; in fact, tech tools can often help a garden to reach its full potential. One tool that I recently had the opportunity to try is the EasyBloom ($59.95). This wand-like tool is simply inserted into the soil where you want plants to grow. Then, you plug the EasyBloom into your Mac or PC, and it gives you information on which plants will grow best in that spot. You can also use the information for plants that are already established in an area, learning about what they need to thrive, or what their watering needs are. How does it work this garden magic? The Easybloom senses temperature, available sunlight, and water saturation, analyzes that information, and then measures it against its 5,000-plus plant database. Given that many of my friends claim their black thumb makes it impossible to even keep a houseplant alive, I think I finally have the perfect comeback for them — why not try an EasyBloom?

Sounds neat
1does it measure soil pH? that would be handy...
2That is so awesome!
3This looks cool.
4Unfortunately, it doesn't check pH levels. Perhaps a future version will . . . .
5This sounds so cool! This is definitely going on my birthday wishlist.
6I love this idea. What a brilliant invention. Even if your garden is only small, there are still differences in the conditions - this would be a good test of how different patches are so you can choose the best plants.
