A fastener device adapted for attaching at least one tag (or other identifier) to an object. The fastener device comprises a T-bar component, a paddle component, and a filament component flexibly attached to both the T-bar component on one end and the paddle component on the other end. In some embodiments, the fastener device is deployable via a fastener dispensing device comprising a needle designed to puncture a hole in at least one tag and the object while also inserting the T-bar component through the hole. Once inserted, the paddle component exerts a cantilever spring force against at least one tag holding the tag(s) securely against the object.

A double walled holder is provided. The double-walled holder provides a floor and walls capable of attachment of various hooks to the walls of the holder. The double-walled holder has an interior cavity to receive an insert. The double-walled holder holds images and momentoes as well as receiving an insert capable of holding a plant.

Rack assemblies and methods of use. Such a rack assembly includes upper and lower subassemblies, the upper subassembly having an upper rod having an upper end and a lower end and at least one prong extending laterally at the upper end of the upper rod. The lower subassembly is removably connectable to the upper subassembly and includes a lower rod having an upper end and a lower end, multiple stabilizing prongs at the lower end of the lower rod, and at least one beam that laterally extends from the lower rod adjacent the lower end thereof and offsets at least one of the stabilizing prongs from an axis of the lower rod.

A plant identification holder that comprises a base portion that includes a sign-retention receptacle configured to selectively retain a plant identification sign. The plant identification holder also includes an anchor portion that includes at least one anchor coupled to and extending from the base portion.

The present invention relates to an assembly, comprising a plant pot (258) having a bottom (260) and at least one side wall (264), extending from the bottom up to a top rim and at least one hole (268) which is arranged in or at least near the bottom, at least one wick (30) extending from below the bottom and through the hole and a container (256), dimensioned to accommodate at least a bottom portion of the plant pot comprising the hole through which the wick extends out of the plant pot. The container and the plant pot in an assembled state define a reservoir to accommodate fluid, such as water, for the plant to be drawn up through the wick during at least one of growing, transporting and display for sale of a plant in the plant pot, which is accommodated in the container. An overflow (284) with a controllable valve (288) may function to distinguish between a stationary state of the assembly and transport thereof.

A plant stake and display tag holder for use with a nursery container such as a pot or free-standing planter. The display tag is attached to the container and is accessible and visible to the consumer without obstruction from the container or plant contained therein. The bottom of the plant stake inserts into a slit in the rim portion of a nursery container and locks into place to hold the plant stake upright and securely in place. The display tag is held above the soil line and avoids the common problems associated with display tag holders inserted below the soil line.

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.

Described herein are techniques for a hybrid distributed hydroculture system. A set of growing profiles is stored, wherein each growing profile defines a set of growing parameters for a type of plant. Data is received that is indicative of a growing profile being associated with a plant growing unit in communication with the computing device. A set of growing parameters is transmitted from the growing profile to the plant growing unit so that the plant growing unit can execute the growing parameters to grow a plant that is planted in the plant growing unit. Sensor data is received from the plant growing unit indicative of data from one or more sensors locally installed at the plant growing unit. The set of growing parameters is customized based on the sensor data from the plant growing unit to customize the parameters for the plant environment.

A plant labeling system includes an adjustable, malleable support made of weather-resistant material, a tag made of weather-resistant material removably secured to the support and a label removable affixed to the tag corresponding to a predetermined type of plant. The system may also include an electronic identification beacon removably attached to at least one of the support, tag or label. A method for manufacturing a plant labeling system includes preparing a malleable support made of weather-resistant material having one end configured to stake into the ground; mixing malleable material that becomes weather resistant when cured; rolling out the malleable material onto sheets having a support matrix; cutting malleable material to predetermined size and shape for plant tag; integrating the malleable material with the support; shaping resulting integrated material and support into predetermined size and shape; and curing the integrated material and support into the finished labeling system.

A method for tracking seeds in an assembly line grow pod having a plurality of carts is provided. A target seed is deposited in a selected cell which is a part of a selected tray located in a selected cart travelling on an assembly line grow pod. A position of the target seed is tracked in the selected cell by determining the position of the target seed in the selected cart and determining a position of the selected cart in the assembly line grow pod. Sustenance is provided to the target seed including the selected cell. A growth factor of the target seed is determined in the selected cell. Upon determination that the growth factor of the target seed in the selected cell is below a predetermined threshold, supply of the sustenance provided to the selected cell is adjusted.
