MindSoup Posted Monday at 09:06 Share Posted Monday at 09:06 (edited) Just to revisit the old automated watering thing. Not really looked into the system fully yet, but ecowitt do a thing called the witt flow. It connects wirelessly to their soil moisture sensor and waters as needed, comes with an app and I think WiFi so you can keep an eye on things remotely. It's not as cheap as the pimoroni style kits mentioned in the thread above, but it looks a lot more plug and play/user friendly. One thing I will say is their sensors aren't as reliable/accurate as I'd like, but for this purpose they'd probably be up to the task. Check out the hilarious YT advert.

Pre treat your soil with nematodes, cheap, easy and they stay in the soil even when there's no larvae to eat. Hey @MindSoup have you any recommendations as to where I could get some nematodes from (quickly and not too expensively preferably)? I see plenty on big river and fleebae, but dunno if buying from there is a good idea or not? Edited 2 hours ago by MidgeSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindSoup Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I'm not sure, I've always bought it as and when and used it fresh but you might be able to keep it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgeSmith Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Ok. Cheers fella! Well if it does 10MSq, I guess 1 pack will do for now. They only charge a quid for postage, so I've a pack on the way. I'm tempted to get some mosquito bits too, but I'll wait to see how the nematodes do first. I've yellow sticky paper for days, so hopefully between the two I will keep the levels reasonable.
