![]() ![]() Moisture sensor page that indicates which of the 4 herb aliquots need to be watered. Additionally, user can disable LED's from turning on if they so choose. LED setting that allows user to set desired "turn on" time and duration. Aliquot tray is inserted into a basin that collects any water drainage and isolates itself from the electronics. Four 2.35" x 2.35" x 2.33" aliquots for planting herbs. Touch screen display that displays time, day of the week, and date. ![]() Here is a quick rundown of some of the features of my smart indoor herb garden: I'm hoping that plants will begin to sprout this upcoming week and I will be sure to update this Instructable with progress growth pics! I just finished this project and planted some basil and chive seeds on. ![]() All in all, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! I figured why not try to make my own Aerogarden like herb garden using an Arduino with some of this extra time that I have during quarantine! I ended up going a little extra with the project in that I added moisture sensors to each soil aliquot but it has proven to be useful so far. Additionally, I had a unused Arduino Mega with a TFT touchscreen shield that had just been sitting in my electronics bin for years. In this Instructable, I will show you how I made my smart indoor herb garden! I had a couple of inspirations for this project with the first being that I had some interest in the in home Aerogarden models.
