Micro:bit Automatic Plant Watering System

In this video, I'll show you how to build an automatic plant watering system using a Micro:bit and some other small electronic components.

The Micro:bit monitors the moisture content of your plant's soil using a capacitive moisture sensor and then uses a relay to drive a pump to water the plant if the soil gets too dry. This way, your plant is always looked after, even when you've forgotten about it or you're away.

Here's a link to the full write-up of the project if you'd like to build you own - https://www.the-diy-life.com/microbit-automatic-plant-watering-system/
