This solar-powered irrigation system has a timer that allows you to set a specific watering schedule. The timer includes both times (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.) and intervals (1 day, 5 days, etc.). This method of watering is also more efficient as it gets directly to the plant’s roots, preventing less water waste due to runoff or evaporation. Perfect for those living in warmer climates, plants with higher watering needs, or even if you want to keep your plants watered while on vacation.

This tiny robot is solar-powered and weather-proof and helps you weed. Differentiating between plants and weeds by height, the wheels are designed to kill pre-emergent weeds while the string trimmer removes sprouted weeds. The Cornell School of Agriculture proved the device to be as effective as hand-weeding.
