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).

A gardening appliance includes a grow tower rotatably mounted within a liner and having a plurality of apertures for receiving one or more plant pods. A controller is operably coupled to a drive motor and a camera assembly and is configured to receive, from a user interface device, image capture instructions from a user, the image capture instructions including at least one of a time of image capture, lighting conditions for image capture, or an angle of image capture, and obtain, using the camera assembly, an image in accordance with the image capture instructions.

A system for improving consistent spacing between plant growing areas and for moving plant growing area comprising a plurality of beds arranged next to each other. Each bed comprises a receiving area for receiving plants and a perimeter, at least one movable element proximate to a bottom side of each of the plurality of beds allowing each bed to move in a first direction and a second direction, and an opening proximate to the perimeter of each bed. Further included is a u-shaped spacer comprising a first leg, a second leg, and a cross-member. The first leg is removably received by the opening of a first bed of the plurality of beds, and the second leg of the u-shaped spacer is removably received by the opening of a second bed of the plurality of beds that is adjacent to the first bed.

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.

The invention belongs to ecological revetments in the technical field of river ecology, which particularly involves an ecological revetment to regulate wandering rivers. The ecological revetment is composed of porous concrete-piles, ecological connecting-plates, an ecological viewing-corridor and a slope green-belt. The ecological landscape-corridor and anchor rod are placed on the upper and middle parts of the pile structure, respectively. In virtue of the innovative structure, the ecological revetment will strengthen the revetment structure, reduce the revetment settlement, prevent the revetment from moving, and enhance the overall stability of the revetment project. The ecological holes exist on the ecological connecting-plates, which is beneficial to the exchange of material and energy from the river course and the bank slope, and the holes could greatly enhance the self-cleaning capacity of the water body. Not only do the plants on the ecological viewing-corridor provide the habitats for the organisms, but also green the revetment.
