Detailed information
Link: Thirsty Light
Another gardening tool from Dick, after last Friday's RainStick (Episode 500). You insert the brass probe of the Thirsty Light into the soil of your plant, and its DryPoint digital circuit will test the moisture level once very second. It can detect 5 levels of dryness, causing the LED light ito blink faster as it gets dryer, alerting you to the need to water your plant. Powered by two 1.5V Lithium batteries.Pet Translator
