Growing fresh food locally is a fine idea, yet many struggle with the logistics; after all, if you're not an expert in farming or agriculture, even in small scale, may seem daunting.
Enter HarvestGeek, a clever solution for the urban food grower or other small scale agriculturalist. HarvestGeek is an open source and wireless system that automatically monitors and tends to the farm or garden. The system operates with a cutting edge device, called HarvestBot, which monitors the environmental conditions for your crop. The data is sent back to HarvestGeek, a web-based platform that provides tools and information for crop cultivation.
HarvestGeek is now up for backing on Kickstarter - inching close to their goal of $25,000.
