An irrigation system having a reservoir with self-sealing openings is provided. The reservoir may comprise a body having an outer surface and a cavity for storing fluid. The reservoir may also include a plurality of self-sealing openings on the outer surface and configured to move between a first configuration in which the self-sealing openings are closed and a second configuration in which the self-sealing openings are open and permit fluid to release from the cavity to a target zone. The self-sealing openings are in the first configuration when a fluid pressure in the reservoir is at least one of zero pressure or negative pressure and the self-sealing openings are in the second configuration when the fluid pressure in the reservoir is a positive pressure relative to an external pressure.

A planting structure includes a trough and a plurality of lateral covers. The trough has a hollow space and a planting space, and a canal is formed inside of the trough; the lateral covers cover a lateral side of the trough and seals off the planting space. The inner walls on the two sides have bottom ends thereof integrally extended to form the canal therebetween. In addition, the planting structure possesses features such as being light in weight, easy to assemble and operate, and can be used to effectively lower production costs by modifying the length and the arrangement mode of the structure according to requirements.

Irrigation apparatus (70) is provided that includes an elongate housing (10) with an internal cavity (14) and a dispenser (24,76) that is fitted at a top of the cavity (14). The housing (10) is installed in soil and the dispenser (24,76) is supplied with water, which is dispensed into the cavity (14), to drip to an exposed soil surface (104) at the bottom of the housing (10), to provide water to plants.

A gardening appliance includes a grow tower rotatably mounted within a liner, and defining a root chamber, a plurality of apertures defined through the grow tower for receiving plant pods, and a hydration system for periodically charging the root chamber with an aeroponic mist. A training pod is configured for receipt within at least one of the plurality of apertures and includes a frame defining a root containment chamber for receiving a root ball of hydroponic media, a media retention feature extending from the frame for engaging and securing the hydroponic media, and a water collection reservoir positioned adjacent the frame for collecting at least a portion of the aeroponic mist to hydrate the root ball of the hydroponic media.

A sewage treatment apparatus is provided for reducing nitrogen content in sewage fluid (e.g., after primary treatment). The apparatus uses vegetation to process the sewage fluid and reduce ammonia and organic nitrogen in the processed sewage fluid by uptake of the ammonia and organic nitrogen into the vegetation and by converting the residual ammonia and organic nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates. The apparatus also uses a feedback loop to combine the processed sewage fluid and the raw sewage fluid, such that nitrites and nitrates in the processed sewage fluid are reduced by interacting with carbonaceous waste in the raw sewage fluid.

A vegetation maintenance system includes a permeable curb, a water-diversion layer, a water-storage layer, a nutrient layer, and a vegetation-planting trough. The permeable curb is located abutting roadside pavement edge of a road along a road direction. The water-diversion layer is located on a side surface of the permeable curb and is disposed close to a bottom of the permeable curb. The water-storage layer is disposed at one side of the water-diversion layer away from a surface of the road, and is configured to store water. The nutrient layer is disposed at one side of the water-storage layer away from the water-diversion layer, and is configured to provide water, soil, and nutrients for growth of vegetation. The vegetation-planting trough penetrates through the water-diversion layer and the water-storage layer, is embedded in the nutrient layer, and is configured for vegetation planting.

The present application relates to agriculture productions system that allows for the controlled release of beneficial agents into a plant root mass, and more particularly it is beneficial for agriculture production where control of infusion of micro-nutrient, infusion macronutrient, root temperature control agents, nutrients and/or elements are applied to the root zone of a plant.
