A device has been developed by a company in Japan to help make gardening easier.
The DoCoMo garden sensor delivers information to experts about soil quality, temperature and moisture - who will then advise gardeners on how to care for their plants.
It works by being inserted into the ground near to wear plants are growing and the device is completely wireless and shaped like a four-leaf clover.
The product is intended to help people succeed in the garden, be they beginners, owners of garden sheds, or more well-seasoned growers looking for extra tips.
Meanwhile, according to the Independent, a company in the US has created a similar product which will provide its advice through a specialist website.
Recently, Bunny Guinness of the Telegraph suggested that the hit-and-miss nature of gardening in the UK is part of its appeal.
