The invention is a customizable, slidable shelving and support apparati and system for supporting, storing and accessing horticultural and agricultural specimens within growing spaces, allowing growers to utilize the maximum amount of their linear horizontal and vertical grow space and service specific areas of the garden enterprise while also allowing for maximum workspace through the use of a table and track system that provides stackable options of multiple grow layers. A method of using this slidable shelving and support apparati and system is also included.

A gardening appliance includes a liner positioned within a cabinet and defining a grow chamber, and a grow tower is positioned within the grow chamber and includes a module support frame including a plurality of vertical support members a plurality of mounting slots. A grow module defines a support body defining a plurality of apertures for receiving one or more plant pods, the grow module further including a plurality of mounting tabs configured for receipt within the plurality of mounting slots to removably mount the grow module to the module support frame.

A photobioreactor system includes a growing tower tray assembly configured to utilize laminar flow to harvest a plant; a nursery subsystem configured to feed inoculum to the growing tower tray assembly; and a nutrient feeding subsystem configured to feed nutrient media to the growing tower tray assembly.

The disclosure relates to a planter.

The present invention is a system and method comprising a vertical farm where the plants are nourished by an aqueous nutrient solution and where all operations of the farm: the circulation of aqueous nutrient solution, replenishment of nutrients and supplements to the solution, as well as the seeding, growing, harvesting and packaging of plants are able to be effected in an automated manner and controlled by the farm controller system. It is possible for the operations of the present invention to be non-automated, semi-automated, or fully-automated, or any combination of non-automated, semi-automated and fully-automated operations, and to be controlled either centrally or locally.

The present invention relates to a device, system and a method associated with the rainwater collection, and specifically with a device that can be assembled in-situ and when inter-connected allows for the collection, storage and distribution of water along conjoined vegetable growing trays that are interconnected mechanically and hydraulically.

A method and a system for growing plants on multilayer principle in mobile gutter farming is described, whereby, in the process of growing plants planted in cultivation gutters, said plants are conveyed in cultivation layers present on top of each other in a cultivation space in a longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in one or opposite directions. The cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein, are treated in the cultivation space by means of a processing arrangement in a cultivation layer-specific manner, whereby the cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein are first of all conveyed by motion elements in each cultivation layer of the cultivation space in the longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in opposite directions and are treated by processing elements in each cultivation layer of the cultivation space separately, in a manner substantially independent of the other cultivation layers.

Plant growth structures and components of plant growth structures. The plant growth structure components provide the ability to customize the plant growth structure to suit the needs of different types of plants. The plant growth structures also provide improved water flow to the plants and a high density of plants in a relatively small growing area.

Systems and methods for vertical farming that reduce the deployment cost, operational costs of human labor, and overall use of energy intensive processes, such as lighting, heating and cooling, and ventilation, while increasing crop quality and yield. This reduction is achieved through a hybrid system that alternates natural light, temperature, and ventilation sources with system-controlled lighting, temperature, and ventilation means. The system includes a germination module that allows seeds to germinal on a horizontal substrate, a growth module that provides optimal growth conditions to the germinated seed on the substrate in a vertical position, and a dosing module that controls the micronutrient mixture supplied to the growing plants.

A vertical growing system includes a frame assembly extending above a base surface, the frame assembly includes a support grid defining a longitudinal axis. The system further includes a propagation tray having a chamber for holding a plant therein and a mounting tray. The mounting tray is removably attached to the frame assembly and includes an interior surface sized to receive at least a portion of the propagation tray therein. The system further includes a positioning member sized to extend from the interior surface of the mounting tray to the propagation tray when the propagation tray is received within the mounting tray. The positioning member is shaped to orient the chamber at a first oblique angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the support grid.
