An air transport unit comprising a composite board. The composite board comprising an anode layer and a cathode layer of an electrically conducting material. The anode layer and cathode layer are separated by an insulator of an electrically insulating material. The composite board further comprising an electric component in electrical connection with the anode layer and the cathode layer. The air transport unit further comprising a carrier board, wherein the composite board and the carrier board each have a duct forming surface, which carrier board and composite board are arranged so that an air duct forms between the duct forming surfaces.

The present invention provides a wind power device capable of effectively suppressing the generation of an imbalance between air and carbon dioxide in a plurality of cultivation portions arranged along a specified direction, and a growing system provided with such a wind power device. The wind power device (100) of the present invention provides wind to objects cultivated in a plurality of cultivation portions (10) disposed along a specified direction (Dm), and the wind power device is provided with a movement unit (120) configured to be capable of reciprocally moving on a movement path (Am) along the specified direction (Dm) and capable of adjusting the period of the reciprocal movement; and at least one blower (131, 132) configured to move along with the movement unit (120).

Horticulture systems and methods are disclosed. The systems include an air handling rack system comprising frame supply and return plenums, an input diffusion assembly physically supported by and fluidically coupled to the frame supply plenum, and a plant support tray assembly physically supported by and fluidically coupled to the frame return plenum. The input diffusion assembly is configured to direct a supply airflow flowing through the frame supply plenum downwardly from an underside thereof. The plant support tray assembly is positioned below the at least one input diffusion assembly to form an environmental cultivation chamber therebetween. The rack system is configured to direct the supply airflow through the environmental cultivation chamber from the input diffusion assembly to the plant support tray assembly past one or more plants positioned on a support side of the plant support tray assembly and into the frame return plenum as a return airflow.

The disclosure relates to a planter.

A storing, germinating, propagating and or growing system for living organisms includes: at least one growth medium for germinating, propagating and or growing living organisms; at least one growth tray for receiving the at least one growth medium; and at least one rack for receiving one or more growth trays, wherein the one or more growth trays include an adaptable growth tray. An adaptable growth tray can include an extendable surface for positioning living organisms; and at least one mechanism for moving the tray between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration, wherein the surface for placing living organisms extends and contracts with the at least one mechanism moving between compact configuration and expanded configuration respectively.

This invention relates to a vertical garden, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to modular containers for planting plants therein. The vertical garden has upper and lower containers and a connector for connecting the upper and lower container. The connector defines a flow path therein extending from an outlet opening of the upper container through a vertical irrigation and drainage conduit section to a transverse distribution conduit section with a number of outlet feeder holes in the distribution conduit section to distribute liquid into the lower container.

The disclosed container defines (i) an “interior” configured to interact with a fluid and/or developing plants, and (ii) an “exterior” that at least partially defines a perimeter around the interior. The disclosed container may further include stacking features/elements which allow one container to be stacked/nested one upon the other. The disclosed container may further include features/elements which enable one container to be connected adjacent to the other. The disclosed container may further include (i) features/elements for delivering fluid, (ii) features/elements for draining fluid, and (iii) features/elements for supporting developing plants that are conducive to their growing within the disclosed container.

A stack planter reservoir retains a volume of water to be pumped through a hydroponic system. The stack planter reservoir includes a reservoir base, a lateral wall, a lid-receiving lip, and a planter-supporting lid. The reservoir base and the later wall define a storage volume for water. The lid-receiving lip is perimetrically connected to the lateral wall to receive the planter-supporting lid. The planter-supporting lid supports a single planter or a plurality of stacking planters. The planter-supporting lid includes a pump outlet to allow fluid transport from the storage volume to the planter or plurality of stacking planters.

A system for the fertigation of a plant vessel and method of use for the same is disclosed. The system comprises a grow module containing a plurality of growing trays additionally containing plants, and/or shoots of plants in various stages of development. The growing trays are individually extracted from the grow module via a tray movement system and tray elevator controlled by a control system and precisely placed in a fertigation system, wherein they are aligned over and lowered onto an at least one nozzle which penetrate the plant vessels containing the plants and fertigate them with a combination of water, nutrients, and/or pressurized air. The individual growing tray is then replaced in the grow module and the process is repeated for all growing trays and plant vessels in the grow module.

Systems and methods for providing and operating a modular garden are provided. Modular gardens of the present technology may be attached to an indoor or outdoor wall. Modular gardens of the present technology include modular planters having at least one panel, a watering system, and a garden computing system that monitors plant conditions, automatically waters plants in the modular garden, and may communicate with a user personal computing device.
