Did I tell you about how I almost spent my summer? :
“…. While purpose of the study is to provide more water for the trees, I hope to answer other questions. Do plants in similar environments develop better root systems alone or in competition? Do the recommended soil amendments vary across the back of the yard? Measuring and meeting the watering needs of similar plants in similar soils should provide results indicating the benefits of shade and the range of water usage. I hope that the benefits of knowing which plants grow best in different locations using the least amount of water should prove valuable information. In addition, I hope to optimize soil nutrient and utilize water more efficiently in the future. ”
On a study designed to measure water usage in the back yard.
“…. the wireless monitoring device [Koubachi K002 Outdoor Wi-Fi Plant Sensor] will be tested, materials ordered, and seedlings gathered. I propose to provide one wireless monitoring device in each of the experimental plant pots to maximize the information obtained from this study. This wireless device will allow much faster and improved data collection for each individual plant, including light, temperature and water. “
