A grow plug 1 has a dimensionally stabilized dried body 3 of glued organic material as well as at least a single seed grain 5. The seed grain is present on the body and the body has a density that is such that it absorbs liquid from below up to the top side and retains an amount of water that is sufficient for having the seed grain germinate and grow into a plant.

When a plant is cultivated by means of this grow plug 1 the grow plug is put in the soil 25 or in a cultivation system and subsequently moistened by pouring water from above onto the grow plug, where the redundant water is drained by the grow plug or the grow plug is inserted into water 21 with its bottom side, and the grow plug sucks up water and some time after the germination of the seed grain the grow plug is put in the soil 25 or in the cultivation system.

The present disclosure is related to improved potting vessels, and more specifically to an improved multi-functional textile vessel. The vessels disclosed include novel textiles, including composites of natural and synthetic materials, and microencapsulated growth aid. In a preferred embodiment, Aloe Vera is microencapsulated in a textile vessel to enhance plant growth and yield. The disclosed vessels further provided novel mixing systems and on-board tie-down systems that enhance the overall efficiency of planting processes.

Methods and systems are described herein including a containment system to contain a portion of a plant including a root structure and soil within a rigid wall pot. The containment system may be configured to permit the roots of the plant therein to traverse a wall of the containment system. The containment system may be configured to support the root and/or soil of the plant once removed from the rigid wall pot.

Provided is a seeder assembly for an aerial vehicle as shown and described. The distribution assembly includes a frame selectively attachable to an aerial vehicle and at least one distribution device attached to the frame. The distribution device having a body defining a cavity to receive a plurality of products and a barrel to discharge the plurality of products. A control device configured to communicate with the aerial vehicle and the distribution device to coordinate the timing that products are discharged and a spacing of a subsequent discharged product relative to the speed of the aerial vehicle. A system, method, and cartridge device associated with the distribution assembly are also contemplated by this disclosure.

A self-contained soil module, the soil module including a biodegradable outer frame forming the shape of the soil module, a biodegradable wrapping disposed within the biodegradable outer frame, a soil composition contained within the biodegradable wrapping and at least one plant seed of at least one type of plant disposed within the soil module.

The present invention is a flexible container to house a root ball of a plant and method of using the same. The container comprises a fabric sack, a securing ring and draw string. The fabric sack has an enclosed base and an open top that is folded over forming a narrow tubular aperture. The sack is made of a fabric having a mesh that inhibits or interferes with the life cycle of pests that infect or attempt to infect the root ball of the plant. The securing ring has a central aperture able to receive the stalk of the plant, an outer edge having a groove, an inner edge and an opening extending from the outer edge to the inner edge. The draw string is fitted through the narrow tubular aperture of the sack to enable the sack to be closed about the securing ring's outer edge groove.

A sowable golf ball, including a biodegradable shell to protect an interior thereof, a rubber winding disposed within at least a portion of the biodegradable shell to facilitate bouncing on an object or a surface by the biodegradable shell, and a seed compartment disposed within at least a portion of the rubber winding to store a plurality of seeds therein.

Described herein are biodegradable plant pots comprising an additive such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), lime, a wax emulsion, or a combination thereof. The additives may be incorporated into the biodegradable plant pots during production, or impregnated into an additive-free biodegradable plant pot. Also described herein are methods and kits for making a biodegradable plant pot.

A stain-proof gardening container having a cap brace including a plurality of grooves, each groove connects to a top edge of one of a corresponding vertically oriented left side panel member, right side panel member and back panel member, a front panel member including a handle, the front panel member attaches to the left side panel member, a floor panel including a well and a plurality of grooves, each groove connects to a bottom edge of one of a corresponding vertically oriented left side panel member, right side panel member and back panel member, a housing frame formed by the cap brace, left side panel member, right side panel member, back panel member, front panel member and floor panel, the housing frame including an interior cavity, a gardening collection receptacle for receiving and storing at least one gardening component, the gardening collection receptacle including an elastic headband located at its top region for installing the gardening collection receptacle in the interior cavity of the housing unit and a drainage aperture located at its bottom region for draining excess materials from the gardening collection receptacle and a drainage collection repository for receiving the excess materials drained from the gardening collection receptacle. The drainage collection repository including a handle for removing the drainage collection repository from the housing unit, and wherein the drainage collection repository is positioned within the well in the floor panel.

A method for preparing a rooting plug is disclosed. The method calls for mixing a composition comprising (i) 0.2%-10% w/w bio-degradable polymer and (ii) an organic non-hydroxylic solvent with a plug mix. The resulting method prepares a rooting plug.
