Plant Cultivation System Using Plant Hangers With Plant Trays At Multiple Heights
A plant hanger assembly having multiple level plant trays, useful for growing plants in an upright configuration is provided for use with a trolley conveyor. A plurality of plant trays of selected size and shape are provided spaced apart along a vertical axis. A vertical support shaft has an upper end and a lower end. The plant trays may be circular in shape, with sloping sidewalls. The sloping sidewalls may be angled out sufficiently that the plant trays can be stacked in a nested configuration for storage. The plant trays include a base having grooved channels for transfer of water on the obverse side, and reinforcing ribs for strength, on the reverse side. Apertures between the obverse side and the reverse side allow excess water in an upper plant tray to drain downward into a plant tray therebelow. Shaft couplers are provided, with attachment rings or pins, to securely join the plant trays to the vertical support shaft. The plant hangers are adapted for attachment to and use with a trolley conveyor in a plant factory.
AIR FLOW SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HORTICULTURE RACKS
An air flow system for a horticulture application is configured to facilitate simplified, reconfigurable air flow. Via use of adaptable and reconfigurable inlet ports, outlet ports, and a number and/or configuration of ventilation socks, the air flow system may be customizable to each respective application and/or produce increased plant density and/or health in horticultural applications.
MODULAR GARDENING SYSTEMS
A modular gardening system (MGS) for plant growing, the system comprising a garden bed for containing soil that is configured to grow at least one plant therein; an elevated rolling stand module supporting the garden bed; a bed cover system module disposed on top of the garden bed; and a mister irrigation module providing irrigation to the plant.

Transportable planter
The apparatus disclosed allows a user to easily garden in a reduced area or confined space with limiting yard or space to garden. The apparatus comprises a collapsible and portable planter that allows for growth of plants upwards and downwards, the planter being collapsible for shipping and transport from one location to another, and further providing a hardware component to elevate oneself or items from a ground surface. The planter is placed upon a support frame, the support frame being collapsible into a relatively flat or two-dimensional structure easy to carry. The planter can be removably placed upon the support frame. Further, the planter and support frame together as the apparatus can be picked up and moved as desired by a user. Embodiments of the apparatus are simply designed to allow a user easy set-up, assembly, and use.
System and method for farming
The present invention relates to a system and method for farming. In particular, there is a system for indoor farming comprising at least one growth rack, the at least one growth rack comprises a plurality of cells; a plurality of farming modules, each farming module configured to be stored in a cell, each farming module configured to grow at least one type of plant; a machine arranged to move each of the plurality of farming modules in/from each of the corresponding cell; wherein each of the plurality of farming module comprises one or more self-contained nutrient tray portion specific to the type of plant, and wherein each farming module is independent with respect to other farming modules.
DECAY-RESISTANT PAPER
The invention is to provide a base paper for a raising seedling pot and a raising seedling pot produced from the base paper, wherein while the base paper maintains a sufficient strength during raising seedlings and planting in the field, it is degraded over time by soil microorganisms after transplanting in the field and is produced by using a crosslinking agent that does not contain formaldehyde, resulting in a reduced burden on the environment; the base paper for a raising seedling pot, wherein a citric acid crosslinking agent, as a crosslinking agent for cellulose, is used in order to block the hydroxy group of cellulose in paper through crosslinking; and the raising seedling pot produced by molding and processing the base paper.

Display module and plant cultivation apparatus equipped with display module
A display module and a plant cultivation apparatus equipped with a display module are provided. The display module in which a control panel that controls a plant cultivation environment and an output that outputs a state of the plant cultivation environment are provided in a front surface thereof coupled to a structure of a bed and withdrawable and insertable into the plant cultivation apparatus together with the bed. The display module may be located at a front surface of the bed, so that usability and space efficiency may be increased.
FOLDING FORM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURAL WALLS
The present invention relates to a self-supporting, prefabricated, folding form structure or mechanism to be used in the construction industry. It is based on various types of geometries, providing enhanced strength and stability for the concrete and other building material casting process. The object of this invention is a foldable, prefabricated, self-supporting form and does not require a structure. It is configured in a variety of geometric shapes and is based on structural elements that have internal casting chambers or ducts interconnected between each other through perforated holes. This is done by means of internal assembly channels or cavities forming casting chambers. The casting chambers are interconnected with each other, through holes drilled in the structural elements. This way the form features an assembly between its walls through cracks or assembly cuts, creating an architecture of superior engineering that provides higher resistance and stability.
