Abstract Humanity land usage is increasing every year and is projected by 2050, human
population will reach 9.7 billion people. Most of the land will be used to housing and farming
and will reach where it is not sustainable to create large patch of land for farming. Creating an
indoor garden for herb growth is not imposible but with the current technology where
microcontroller can connect to the internet to get the information that was requested to your
phone, it can be automated as well. In this project, we will analyze the relation between
temperature, humidity and soil moisture level. How will temperature affect the soil moisture
and does it depends on the weather as well. Will humidity increase the soil moisture that can
be used for plant growth. The method that we will be testing is that putting an indoor garden in
a room where the temperature and humidity can be manipulated to get two different results.
Based on the test run result, temperature has greater impact to soil moisture compared to
humidity.
