Make an automatic watering device for your Thirsty Plant with some easy to find items and simple electronics!

No plant will ever be thirsty again.
Step 1: Things you will need:

Household items:
Some sticks (twigs, lollipop sticks, pencils)
Some fixings (elastic bands, string, wire, glue)
Something sharp (pin, map pin, badge back, pencil)
Some small water bomb
9 volt battery
Components from the Start Arduino kit (or bought separately):
Arduino Uno Servo Motor
2 x Jumper wires
2 x Crocodile clips
9v Barrel Connector
