Step 12Reap your harvest

Reap your harvest
Check your seed packets (you saved them, right?) to see when your plants should be mature, and harvest them by that date. But, don't be surprised if you've got them ready to go sooner!

Save your bounty's seeds to replant, if you didn't plant some weird hybrid that doesn't produce viable seeds...

Actually this electrolysis is a benefit to your soil especially when growing organically. Check out the book "Teaming with Microbes" which is the most compact yet in depth book out there on organics and gardening that I have come across.

To save power (and reduce potential effects of electroysis on the soil?) you could have the Arduino trip a transistor that can handle the +5v for the sensor periodically, since there's no need to monitor constantly. Once it has the reading it can turn that pin to low again and no more current flows through the soil.
