Is your Plant Thirsty?

I tend more to over water plants … this would help too. Only water when it’s blinking. Plants need water - even the most arid-climate-loving plants need it from time to time. As a geek, you might very well have a pot with something brown that was once green in it. Shame on you. All you had to do was give it a drink every now and then, and you failed. Way to go. There are plenty of detectors on the market. They all check the conductivity of the soil. If there is enough water, than the salts in the soil dissolve, allowing a tiny amount of current to run through the electrodes. The lower the resistance, the higher the water content. Trouble is, that’s not accurate enough. Our Thirsty Light digital moisture meter uses a patented process to actually interpret the readings it gets, and gives you a far more precise measurement of the dryness of the potting medium. No cryptic readings to gauge - if your plant needs water, the head of the Thirsty Light blinks. It’s really that easy. So no more excuses! Get yourself a little living plantlife in your office. Give it enough light and water, and it will thrive. Link: Thirsty Plant Light

Walking Bike

It looks way unconventional, but this clever Walking Bike by Max Night “kicks” at an impressive pace. The enterprising designer outfitted an ordinary bike with eight pairs of sneakers for his pal at Intersection magazine, and it truly does run — albeit at a jogger-with-a-cramp speed. And a word to potential bikejackers: making off with the wheels on this one are likely to earn more on eBay than at the used bike store. Watch the foot pedaling action here. Via: Josh Spear
