More efficient structural cell for facilitating tree root growth
A structural cell system for supporting hardscape, allowing tree root growth, and managing stormwater underneath the hardscape. The system may include: a base having a plurality of receptacles and a plurality of support members interconnecting the receptacles; a plurality of legs each sized and shaped to be attachable to the base within one of the receptacles so as to extend from the base, and to be attachable to another of the legs so that pairs of legs attached to each other collectively extend from the base; and a top attachable to the legs. Outer edges of the base, the top, and the legs attached thereto define a volume, and are configured to support at least that portion of the hardscape overlying the top as well as a commercial vehicle traffic load thereon, while maintaining soil in a substantially uncompacted state throughout at least approximately ninety percent of the volume.
ENCAPSULATED AND SEGREGATED GROWTH CONTAINERS
An agricultural yield pod or agricultural yield pad with holed root membrane overlay. The agricultural yield pod encloses soil and vegetation in the soil. The top of the agricultural yield pod is closed except for at least one water and nutrition port and at least one vegetation growth port (or neck). The trunk of the vegetation passes through the at least one vegetation growth port (or neck). The agricultural yield pad is closed by the holed root membrane overlay and contains soil and vegetation in the soil. The trunk of the vegetation passes through the holes in the holed root membrane overlay. Root direction channels 38 may be beneath the overlay.
Adjustable Grow Tent Assembly with Reflective Symmetry
The present invention relates to the field of growing plants indoors, more particularly, relates to a unique grow tent assembly and apparatus that enables growth of plants indoors. Grow tents are portable enclosed structures that enables users to grow plants in indoors. Generally, grow tents are made of plastic or metal framing with a tent fabric made of canvas on the exterior and reflective material in the interior which increases the intensity of light produced by built grow lights through. reflection. However, major drawback of the conventional grow tents involves the subject to uneven light reflection produced by the grow lights effecting the growth of the plants grown in the grow tents. The present invention provides a unique structured grow tent built with at least six walls having hexagonal pattern on the interior reflective surface of the grow tent that improves the reflection of the light produced by the grow lights in the grow tent. Additionally, the disclosed invention provides an inbuilt as well as detachably attachable height extension system that allows users to extend the height of the grow tent.
GARDEN PLOT ENCASEMENT SYSTEM
A device for encasing a plot of land is disclosed. The device includes a modular base placed around the perimeter of the plot of land. The base has a slot in the top for receiving a number of panels that form the sides and top of the enclosure. A bottom screen may extend across the bottom of the base. The panels may have an opening which is covered by an insert panel. The insert panel may be a screen or a material having greenhouse properties.
ERGONOMIC GARDENING CONTAINER
Provided is a raised-bed gardening container, including a base, a feeding tube, and a cover frame. The base may include a bottom edge; a top rim at least 36 inches above the bottom edge; an exterior sidewall extending between the bottom edge and the top rim; an interior sidewall extending from the top rim to a bottom interior, the interior sidewall and bottom interior defining an interior volume for containing a gardening media, the interior volume having a diameter of greater than approximately four feet; a feeding tube support generally centrally disposed in the base; and a gardener passage extending to the feeding tube support and having a width configured to allow a gardener to walk through the gardener passage to the feeding tube support.
Pollen distribution system for an indoor gardening appliance
An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber and a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber and defining a plurality of apertures for receiving a plurality of plant pods. A pollen pod is mounted to the grow module in one of the apertures and contains pollen for pollinating the plant pods to facilitate plant growth. A pollen ejection device, which may be a pressurized air nozzle or a protruding member for puncturing the pollen pod, is fixed to the liner or otherwise stationary relative to the pollen pod and is configured for engaging the pollen pod when the grow module rotates the pollen pod past the pollen ejection device to discharge and disperse pollen onto the plant pods.

Indoor garden center with a resilient sealing element
An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber and a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber for receiving a plurality of plant pods, the grow module defining a plurality of grow chambers spaced apart along the circumferential direction. One or more resilient sealing elements, e.g., formed from silicone, are positioned at the distal ends of the grow module to seal a gap between the grow module and the liner. The resilient sealing elements define one or more air ducts for providing a flow of air through the resilient sealing element into one of the plurality of chambers and a flow regulating device for regulating the flow of air.

PLANT SKIRT AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF
A plant skirt provides a weed barrier system that is easy to construct and install, and virtually eliminates weed encroachment. The plant skirt comprises a barrier member having a substantially flat body constructed from landscaping material and having an outer rim edge. The body includes a weighted edge perimeter, wherein the perimeter is constructed having sand therein. At least one edge area of the body has a weighted edge perimeter including an elongated slit. The elongated slit extends to and terminates at a center aperture in the flat body. The elongated slit has overlapping capable sides, and the center aperture is a small opening appointed to surround a plant's stem so that the stem is flush against the center aperture and a weed cannot easily grow between the center aperture and the stem.
