A new, upgraded style of soil sensor 🪴💧🌡️

For a while, we've had a SAMD09-based soil sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4026) that uses the built-in capacitive sensing. It works well but has some non-linearity in its response to wet soil. We wanted to try a different system of measuring capacitance and update it to a 3~5V friendly ATtiny816 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5681), which lets us ditch the regulator and shifting circuitry. We'll also Stemma QT-ify it and add a NeoPixel and an AHT20 low-cost temperature/humidity sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4566) for an 'all in one' gardening sensor. The un-rendered part in the center is a 3-pin DIP switch in 1.27mm pitch, for easily setting the I2C address. Coming soon.

What a gorgeous morning- so much sunshine, coffee in my @hammerlyceramics mug, and my little plant babies. We planted our two beds this year with about 15 different herbs and vegetables. There are still a few things left to sprout, but otherwise it’s going strong. No matter the size of the eventual harvest, we will be thrilled and proud. Happy Sun-day, everyone! ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️! #sundaymorning #coffee #coffeegram #morningcoffee #mugshot #hammerlyceramics #garden #diy #diygarden #radishsprouts #peasprouts #homegarden #vegetablegarden #companionplanting #sunshine #pnw #pnwonderland #livemoremagic #theartofslowliving #slowfood (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwziWnenQmL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ki6br97limj0

Stop guessing and start calculating! Whether you're refreshing your garden beds or starting a brand new landscape project, knowing the right amount of mulch saves you time, money, and multiple trips to the store.

This handy mulch calculator infographic walks you through everything:

✅ Why mulch matters — from retaining moisture and controlling weeds to protecting soil and beautifying your yard ✅ 3 simple steps to calculate how much mulch you need ✅ The formula — Cubic Feet = Length × Width × Depth (then divide by 27 for cubic yards) ✅ A real example — a 20×10 ft bed at 3 inches deep = just 1.85 cubic yards! ✅ Bag calculator—divide your cubic feet by bag size and you're done ✅ Coverage reference chart for depths from 1" to 4"

💡 Quick Tip: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch is ideal for most landscapes. And always keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks!
