PARAMETER
The present invention is an IoT based system to implement floating
gardens onany unused water source and monitor the soil parameter. The
system provides RF transceiver for communication between the sensory
parameters and the gateway node. The system evaluates the soil parameter
such as moisture level, pH leveland ambient temperature through various
sensors. The system provides an IoT server to store data which is further
analyzed on the growth of the plant and improvisation of the cultivation .
The system comes with a holder pole and a ropein order to hold the garden
holder structure slightly sunk into the water surface which helps the water
from the water source to seep into it. The garden holder is layered with water
hyacinths , followed by soil, compost and manure and plant thecrops on top
layer .
