Netting material with eyelets
A netting material having a length dimension and a width dimension much smaller than the length dimension is formed by threads knitted or woven together. The netting material has a main portion comprising knitted or woven apertures, a reinforced edge portion at or adjacent each longitudinal edge of the netting material comprising a longitudinal row of knitted or woven fastening features, and a reinforced intermediate portion between the reinforced edge portions. The reinforced intermediate portion has a first longitudinal row of knitted or woven fastening features and a corresponding second longitudinal row of knitted or woven fastening features. In use, the netting material is folded so that the first longitudinal row of fastening features and the second longitudinal row of fastening features are brought together to form a double-layered row of fastening features. The double-layered row of fastening features and the row of fastening features of the reinforced edge portions provide three longitudinal attachment locations for securing the netting material to a support structure.

PLANT COVER DEVICE WITH ENCLOSURE AND PERIPHERAL BASE AND RELATED METHODS
A plant cover device (630, 730) may include an enclosure (631, 731) having panels (204, 634A) coupled together to define a plant-receiving cavity. Each of the panels (204, 634A) has a major mesh surface (635A), and a seam (208, 302, 636A) extending along a peripheral edge (646A) of the major mesh surface (635A), Adjacent panels (634A) are coupled together at respective seams (636A). The enclosure (631, 731) may include a first fastener (637, 640) adjacent the peripheral edge (646A) of a respective panel (634A, 634B). The plant cover device (630, 730) may have a base (100, 632) coupled to the enclosure (631, 731) and including a solid major surface (638) extending radially outward, and a second fastener (637, 640) carried by the solid major surface (638) and extending radially. The plant cover device (630, 730) may also include a support (633, 733) extending vertically from a ground surface to an apex of the enclosure (631, 731). The first fastener (637, 640) and the second fastener (637, 640) may be aligned and configured to provide access to the plant-receiving cavity.

PROTECTION BAGS AND RELATED METHODS
Protective bags having bag bodies formed by or with meshed fabrics can be used to protect potted plants from plant bugs. The protective bags are sized and shaped to protect both the plant top section and the plant root system or just the plant root system. Accessible seams or windows can be provided to access the interior of a bag for watering, feeding plant food, and/or pruning purposes. The protective bags can be sized and shaped to work with potted plants using soils or hydroponic systems.
AUTOMATED VERTICAL PLANT CULTIVATION SYSTEM
An automated plant cultivation system operating seed or plant capsule(s) and/or capsule(s) retaining casing(s) capable of controlling the growing environment of each plant capsule throughout the plant life cycle wherein the capsule(s) can be adapted to operate under any irrigation method.

Netting post cap
A netting post cap 11 is provided for fitting over the top of a post. Posts are often used for fences to protect animals and agriculture. In certain cases, netting is used for additional protection from animals and agriculture. Wires can be strung between posts on the top of the netting post caps. Netting can be supported over the wires and netting post caps 11. The netting post cap 11 generally has a domed head 12 and a stem 14. The stem 14 may connect the dome 12 with struts 13 for structural support and aid in tying off wire ends. Holes 15 in the dome 12 are used to thread wire through and tie off wire ends. Protrusions 17 rising from the dome 12 secure the netting into position and protect the netting.
