Today Cornish College with the help of Monash engineering undergraduates, Emily Kuo and Akash Ramaswamy set up automated watering of their Kitchen Gardens in time for the summer break.

The watering is triggered by a soil moisture sensor using a commercially available link tap.

For the past 6 months, students in Grade 4 have been monitoring seasonal data. Now they can see first-hand the benefits of precision watering of their Kitchen Garden.
