A smart, scheduled, remotely controllable watering system costs less than $65.

Who doesn’t want/ appreciate a lovely little backyard garden or a flower bed that is blooming and attractive?

However, watering the plants is a chore, and missing out on it tends to cost you quite heavily in terms of wilted or dying out plants or simply not being so fresh and flowery.

And wait, those scheduling watering systems off of Amazon? I have tried them all, but they are ineffective and with very limited longevity, requiring care in terms of changing batteries, manually changing schedules and worse, even water getting inside them in the rainy season.

Here’s what you’ll need for almost an Industrial grade smart watering system:

1: Solenoid Valve

(It’s an electrically controlled valve, which is durable (at least from my experience)

2: 24V DC Charger
