Claim:
A system for watering plants comprising: a pot having a plant therein; a line carrying a hook thereon, the hook carrying the pot; a plant watering activation switch connected to a watering system configured to provide water to the plant in the pot; and a pot weighing system comprising a movable arm assembly configured to interact with a weight switch; the line carrying the pot along a path between the plant watering activation switch and the movable arm assembly of the pot weighing system; the pot not moving the movable arm assembly of the pot weighing system when the plant in the pot needs to be watered, whereby the movable arm assembly interacts with the weight switch to allow watering of the plant in the pot and the hook engages the plant watering activation switch to thereby activate the watering system to provide water to the plant in the pot; the pot moving the movable arm assembly of the pot weighing system when the plant in the pot does not need to be watered, whereby the movable arm assembly interacts with the weight switch to prevent activation of the watering system to prevent water from being provided to the plant in the pot.
