The EasyBloom Blog

Hi everyone,
I woke up relatively early (California time) thinking about all of the good stuff going on at PlantSense. Our user base continues to grow, and as it grows we get more and more feedback about plants.

For instance, did you know that 68% of the plants in America are under fertilized? When you think about all of the plants out there - its pretty obvious that they could be flourishing a bit more.

We also noticed that in May 33% of the Tomatoes out there were over watered. But that is actually a bit better than last year when 36% of the Tomatoes were overwatered.

Want to know what plant most people own? Gardenias. Want to know the plant that most people would like to add to their Garden? Black Eyed Susans.

We’re going to be adding new features that will give you more information on what’s going on in your neck of the woods. This will let you know what plants other people near you are having luck with, and what plants people aren’t having luck with.

If you have any ideas, let us know - we love hearing from you.

Happy Gardening.

Matt

It’s always survey time at PlantSense. We love hearing from customers, and one way we get customer feedback is through surveying our customers. If you ever used an EasyBloom, you’ve gotten a survey from us. And if you ask us for help, I’ll write back, which surprised Gene

“Hi Edith, Thanks for the info. I`m going to give it a try this weekend. I apreciate that you answered me back. I didn’t really think anybody looked at surveys but the companies hired for the survey. Thanks Again Gene”

Yes! We usually get between 20-30% response for each survey, and Matt Glenn (our CEO) and I read every response. One of our most frequent requests has always been “Soil Fertility”, which led us to produce the EasyBloom Plus. Other requests from customers have been
email reminders when a reading is ready
clearer graphs
More plants, more plants, more plants!

We’re happy our customers let us know what you want, and we’re here to listen!

I love hearing from happy EasyBloomers. I recently talked to Cindy, who also lives in San Francisco. She wanted to grow basil

but found out from her EasyBloom that her yard didn’t get enough sun for Basil to grow. This is sadly, fairly common in foggy San Francisco. Most vegetables and herbs need at least six hours of sun (and maybe more!) to thrive.

However, Cindy discovered she could grow sage AND thyme These are two herbs that can prosper in less light, as shown by her EasyBloom.

It’s a year later, and Cindy says not only has her sage and thyme grown wonderfully, her cooking has changed! Now that she has access to fresh herbs, she’s making different dishes.

What have been your EasyBloom surprises?
