SunCalc

BY Cdyer | 3 Comments

The SunCalc is probably one of the most revolutionary gardening gadgets out there today. It is a device that allows gardeners, or anyone for that matter, to find the perfect spot to place their plant so that it will receive the correct amount of sunlight for that particular plant.

This device provides you with the ability to match your plant with the spot that best suits the sunlight requirements of the plant, giving it greater growing potential.

It’s very easy to use. You simply place the SunCalc in the desired spot that you wish to place your plant and put the stainless steel stake into the ground. The SunCalc is waterproof and there is no assembly required to use it. Once it is in place you simply turn on the power switch and leave it in place for 24 hours. When you came back you will no whether or not that is the spot for your plant will get the right amount of sunlight, because the LED indicator light that represents the amount of sunlight received, will be flashing every two seconds letting you know the exactly how much sunlight that spot got throughout a continuous twelve hour period. The SunCalc, which is an electronic solar measuring tool, collects the solar data for 12 the twelve hours and then displays the output. It will continue to flash beside the correct indicator light for the next 12 hours or until turned off. If it is not turned off, it will automatically shut down after 24 hours saving the latest data until the next use

This garden tool runs on only one watch battery that, if used approximately 50 to 70 full days yearly, will last around four years. This device sales for around $29.99 and is every gardener’s “must have” gadget.

    This sounds really neat. But I don’t think that I would take the time to use it. I am lucky if I water them.

    I don’t think I would bother to buy this, the correct position for a plant depends on more than just sunlight(shelter, soil type, disease risk,pests etc).

    For years I have needed something like this so I can determine once and for all if my front porch is low light or partial shade!
