In one test, EasyBloom took in 129 data points over 30 hours and recommended 321 plants for that specific soil and conditions. While guesswork can sometimes be a fun part of the process, EasyBloom provides you with solutions to ailing plants and plant suggestions you may have never thought of before.
The EasyBloom Plant Sensor has received rave reviews with the press. In a January 2009 article titled "Cool News Gizmos For Home, Families, Kids," CBS News writes, "The EasyBloom enables anyone to enjoy a beautiful garden, from a single potted plant to a backyard full of blooms."
ABC News recommends this gadget in their December 2008 article "New Home Gadgets for the New Year" and in their May 2009 article "11 Gadgets to Make Her Gush." Barron's chose EasyBloom as their February 2nd, 2009 "Gadget of the Week," with the author writing, "I was impressed with the EasyBloom's secondary functions, which say if plants need watering and diagnose ailing ones."
The EasyBloom Plant Sensor does not win everyone over. Some people feel that gardening should be an intimate moment involving man and nature only. "This is not hands-on gardening," argues Bruce Butterfield of the National Gardening Association.
"I'll rely on my old-fashioned green thumb," adds St. Petersburg Times contributor Yvonne Swanson, who says that "most of the rules are thrown out the window" with Florida gardening.
One Amazon reviewer from Texas argues that this gadget only alerts you to the water/sunlight conditions of the plants and that "Using your better judgment would be more effective and allow you to learn as a gardener." Other reviewers say they don't like that they had to register before being able to use this gizmo.
