💡Project Idea:
Plants require not only sufficient water but also balanced soil pH for healthy growth. Monitoring these conditions manually is tedious and often neglected. This project solves the problem by using an 8051 microcontroller along with a soil moisture sensor and a pH sensor to continuously monitor soil conditions. The system displays real-time values on an LCD and activates a buzzer alarm if values fall below safe limits—helping maintain optimal plant health.
