Compost and planting system and method thereof
A compost and planting system and a method thereof are disclosed, wherein a sewage produced from the organic waste contained in a composting container during decomposition is drained into circulation hubs positioned below a filtering bottom of a composter arrangement and flows into an air-water flowing chamber of an air-water source arrangement through liquid slots of a plurality of circulation hubs positioned in the air-water flowing chamber. A liquid is fed into the air-water flowing chamber of the air-water source arrangement via a liquid inlet to carry the sewage to flow in a lower portion of the air-water flowing chamber while an upper portion of the air-water flowing chamber is maintained to have a flow of air, such that the liquid in the lower portion of the air-water flowing chamber enters the circulation hubs through the liquid slots thereof to be absorbed by the planting soil contained in a soil tub and the circulation hubs positioned below the soil tub.
ROBOTIC PLATFORM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS IN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS
An autonomous vehicle platform system and method configured to perform various in-season management tasks, including selectively applying fertilizer, mapping growth zones and seeding cover crop within an agricultural field, while self-navigating between rows of planted crops and beneath the canopy of the planted crops on the uneven terrain of an agricultural field, allowing for an ideal in-season application of fertilizer to occur once the planted crop is well established and growing rapidly, in an effort to limit the loss of fertilizer.
Grass seeding assembly
A grass seeding assembly for reseeding a lawn with grass seed includes an insertion tool that has a handle and a cup disposed on the handle. A cone is engaged with the cup on the insertion tool for driving the cone into ground. The cone is foraminous to facilitate water to pass through the cone. A planting mixture is placed within the cone and the planting mixture comprises a chemical fertilizer, grass seed and soil. A mesh screen is wrapped around the cone such that the mesh screen inhibits the planting mixture from passing through the cone.
Implements and application units having at least one flexible or pivoting application member for placement of applications with respect to agricultural plants of agricultural fields
Described herein are implements and applicators for placement of fluid applications with respect to agricultural plants of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, a fluid applicator for applying fluids to plants in rows in a field includes a base, at least one flexible or pivoting application member connected to the base and disposed to apply fluid to the plants, and a stabilizer associated with the at least one flexible or pivoting application member. The stabilizer can reduce movement of the application member to provide a more consistent fluid application to the plants.
Aperture assembly for use with a subsurface ejection vessel
An aperture assembly for use with a subsurface ejection vessel includes an electromagnet, a first dynamic aperture, a second dynamic aperture, a hollow shaft injection drill bit, a third dynamic aperture, collar perforations, and closed window apertures. The electromagnet actuates a closing of the first dynamic aperture. The electromagnet actuates an opening of the second dynamic aperture. The third dynamic aperture dynamically opens when triggered by a first pre-determined depth achievement counting by the encoder of the lead screw or distance traveled by a platform (505A) triggered by the limit switch that are communicated to the AI robot, the computer, and the PLC. The third dynamic aperture dynamically opens when the camera lens has a second pre-determined depth penetration of the hollow shaft injection drill bit and that the limit switch information is communicated to the computer, or the PLC.
