PLANT EDGING
An edging system is disclosed herein. The edging system includes a set of annular members having a plurality of first engagement portions and a plurality of second engagement portions. In some embodiments, each annular member is modular. Adjacent annular members are configured to join together via engagement of the plurality of first engagement portions and the plurality of second engagement portions thereon. The edging system edging provides a barrier for the plant, protecting the plant whilst providing a tidy and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the plant and the yard/garden as a whole.
Stake securing a landscaping edging strip
A stake consists of two planar panels joined on a longitudinal axis and angularly disposed with respect to one another. Lower portions of the panels converge to a tip on the axis, and an axial tang is formed at the top of the stake. An inwardly directed flange is formed near the top of each panel, the flanges being disposed substantially in a common plane, generally perpendicular to the panels. The flanges and the tang facilitate driving of the stake into a substrate by use of a power hammer, and the driven stake resists both upward and lateral displacement. It is especially adapted for the securement of edging for restraining paving and landscaping materials.

Weed barrier and method of use
A weed barrier includes a rigid body defining a plurality of basins. The basins have bottoms with holes therethrough for planting garden plants. In a particular embodiment the bottom surface of the weed barrier includes a plurality of hose channels configured be positioned over a hose. Several example configurations of rigid weed barriers are disclosed.

PLANT PRODUCTION FACILITY AND PROCESS
Described herein are methods of producing plant products and plant production facilities equipped to produce the same on a large-scale. The methods and facilities provide for sprouting directly on a solid growing surface with embedded temperature control, which maximizes independent control of each batch of sprouts or plant products. The embedded temperature control system generally comprises one or more heat transfer conduits for flowing a heat transfer fluid therethrough. A seed spreader device may be used to deposit a bed of plant seeds at a substantially uniform height across the growing surfaces. Advantageously, the simplified design is more cost-effective and can be easily understood, used, and repaired by the average farmer or livestock operator.

FLOATING ISLAND CONSTRUCTION METHOD FOR OVERALL TRANSPLANTATION OF SANDY SOIL PLANTS
Disclosed is a floating island construction method for overall transplantation of sandy soil plants, the method comprising the following steps: separation from a surrounding soil body; construction of a buoyancy tank device (13); and waterproof construction, so as to construct a plant floating island from plants to be transplanted in a reservoir area. The floating island protects all the root systems of the plants and most of the undisturbed soil, improves the survival rate, preserves the unique landscape of an original habitat, and can be constructed at the same time as water conservancy project construction, which saves on the construction period, saves costs, and is convenient for on-site overall scheduling.
