Mark,

There's this from Maplin:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=22564&doy=19m9
and although
it just emits a beep when it detects moisture, you could interface it to
turn off a solenoid valve etc.

Lets Automate do this: http://www.letsautomate.com/10675.cfm
which I
think is the same sort of thing - Phil can probably confirm though.

HTH,

Tim.
