SOIL MOISTURE DETECTING AND INFORMING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soil moisture detecting and informing device which is a long-life and low-cost product with high functionality capable of visually displaying a moisture state in soil as well as acoustically informing and also supplying water if necessary. SOLUTION: Two good electric pair 2a and good electric pair 2b with electric conducive properties of a detecting part 2 are inserted in a separate state in soil to confirm a current flowing state in the presence of water and a current non-flowing state in the non-presence of water generated between two good electric pair 2a and good electric pair 2b using the electric conductive properties of water in soil as a medium. In this system, a problem of anxiety about plugging or the like between materials is solved, and a variegated system of luminance, voice, coloring, characters or the like can be considered in a visual display and acoustic information, so that management of water can be performed while enjoying oneself. Furthermore, water can also be supplied if necessary to provide the soil moisture detecting and informing device 1 with long life remarkably enhanced in the commercial value, easy to use and low in cost besides solving the problem as a matter of course.
