This article aims to develop the irrigation system for home gardening and this system can be maintained without any human monitoring. It automatically checks the moisture of the soil under the tree and plants in the home garden and if the moisture is low it indicates the message and pours water automatically to the plants from the water storage to which it is connected. The exact utilization of the irrigation method is required as there may be a lack of rainfall or there may be dry areas. For this reason, an automated irrigation system is used in which it is suitable in all climatic conditions. The soil moisture sensor will sense the water content and indicate whether to pump the water or not. This will help to reduce the wastage of water and also helps to grow the plants even if the human is not physically present.
