Arduino Smart Lawn Kit: Soil NPK Proxy & OLED Fertiliser Advice
Smart Lawn NPK Monitor Kit: Arduino Uno Reads 3 Soil Probes & Recommends Fertiliser on OLED
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Bring data-driven care to your lawn with a device that senses what your soil really needs. Three moisture probes placed at different depths measure conductivity, which the Arduino correlates with NPK levels. An OLED display then shows exactly which fertiliser to add and how much, turning guesswork into a simple science project you can build in an afternoon.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a portable lawn advisor that reads soil moisture and temperature, runs a pre-calibrated algorithm to approximate nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels, and prints a clear recommendation on the OLED—like “Apply 3g urea per sq. foot.” It’s a self-contained unit that makes precision lawn care accessible without expensive lab tests.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing multiple analog soil moisture sensors and a digital temperature probe with Arduino Uno
- Using conductivity measurements and temperature compensation to estimate NPK nutrient content
- Driving a 0.96-inch OLED display for real-time data output and decision logic
- Calibrating sensors and building a practical environmental monitoring system for agriculture or home gardens

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11–12 students taking up agriculture-tech projects, first-year B.Tech ECE/EEE learners exploring sensor networks, and Smart India Hackathon teams building agritech prototypes. ATL Tinkering Lab facilitators will find it a ready-to-use module, and home gardeners or lawn enthusiasts can finally move from guesswork to data-backed lawn nutrition.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
How do three soil probes estimate NPK without expensive sensors?
The probes measure electrical conductivity at different depths. The AI companion includes correlation data that maps conductivity values to approximate NPK levels, calibrated for common Indian soil types. It’s not a lab analysis but gives actionable fertiliser advice.
Can I use this kit for potted plants or a vegetable garden instead of a lawn?
Absolutely. The same principle applies—just recalibrate the conductivity-to-NPK table with your specific soil. The build companion explains how to adjust for different mediums.
What role does the DS18B20 waterproof sensor play?
Soil conductivity changes with temperature. The DS18B20 provides real-time temperature data so the Arduino can compensate readings, making the NPK estimates more reliable across seasons and times of day.
What if my OLED doesn’t display the recommendation correctly after assembly?
The AI companion walks through wiring checks and I²C address verification. If that doesn’t solve it, you can send a photo via WhatsApp to our support team for a same-day fix.
