New garden tools for the outdoor garden that make everything easier for the gardening aficionado are always being created. One of the newest gardening tools that is currently experiencing increasing popularity is a hanging tomato planter. Using a hanging tomato planter allows tasty tomatoes to grow much easier, because the plant develops upside down. Sold as a kit, planting seeds into the upside down growing container is a breeze with easy to follow instructions. There are also hanging tomato planters that allow you to grow plants in the upright position and can be found at your local home improvement store.
One advantage of a hanging tomato planter is that it allows gardeners to save their back and knees from having to bend and kneel down over an upright tomato bush. The advantage of a Topsy Turvy upside-down tomato planter goes beyond ergonomics though; this is a gardening tool that also enables people to grow tomatoes in limited spaces. Little garden area is needed when you put this device to work. The ability to grow delicious tomatoes in a hanging container extends from homes with a large yard to apartments with no yard. A hanging tomato planter can be hung on a small porch in a sunny spot and grow tomatoes as fabulous as those growing in a thriving garden.
Another new gardening tool that is receiving rave reviews is the EasyBloom garden sensor. Many plant lovers have started using a EasyBloom garden sensor to know exactly what their plants require. A EasyBloom garden sensor has two prongs that go into the ground where you are planning on placing a plant or tree. While the plant sensor remains in place for 24 hours, it works to track parameters like the temperature, amount of sunlight and moisture in the soil. Once the 24 hour period is over, the EasyBloom garden sensor is then plugged into a computer where you are directed to the manufacturer’s website, which contains tips and information on what your plants need. The information the plant sensor has assembled will be shown to you. What you can find out from this is how to select the right plants for that particular area of your garden. Additionally, a plant sensor can be used to diagnose issues with plants that are already planted in your yard. Making use of the plant sensor in this situation can be helpful in correcting problems that your plants may be experiencing.
What the EasyBloom garden sensor does not do is warn gardeners of whether or not a certain plant is best suited for a particular planting zone. It also is not able to determine the pH levels in soil, nor can it save data once the data has been collected by the website. As technology develops, it is expected that the EasyBloom garden sensor device will transform over time, allowing users the ability to retain the data that has been gathered.
Quality garden hand tools should make the life of a gardener easier. That’s exactly what these two unique devices do. Experiment with a hanging tomato planter or EasyBloom garden sensor in your backyard this year and you will find out that growing plants can be easy!
