Gardeners feel the same way about their plants as pet lovers feel about their pets—they want to make sure that they are well taken care of at all times. If you are worried about your plants, then you would surely want to monitor them at all times and that is what a garden camera can help you with. Today, there are now garden cameras which you can set to snap photos of your flower bed every 1 minute to 24 hours. Aside from monitoring your plants, this camera can also help you to see what type of critter is preventing them from growing.

2. Weed Torch

Let’s face it—weeding is one of the most difficult parts of gardening. Lucky for you, there is now one easy way to get rid of those pesky weeds—burn them! A weed torch has a solid brass tip that shoots fire out to carbonize weeds. With this tool, you no longer have to employ chemicals that are harmful to your health and to the environment as well. It also makes removing weeds in between patio, and sidewalk cracks a breeze.

3. Plant Monitor

One of the struggles of tending plants is that we cannot be able to communicate with them directly and hence, it is difficult for us to determine exactly what they need. Well, a plant monitor or sensor can help you decipher that. This wireless sensor monitors the temperature, moisture, fertilizer and light levels of the plants. The information will be sent to your smartphone through Bluetooth technology. With the information you can get from the sensor, you can be able to determine what the needs of your plants are.
