A tree net assembly includes a pole that is vertically oriented and is positioned adjacent to a plant. A pair of globes is each of the globes slidably positioned around the pole, and each of the globes has a plurality of wells each extending toward a center of a respective one of the globes. A plurality of rods is provided and each of the rods is comprised of a resiliently bendable material. Each of the rods is removably coupled between the globes when the globes are positioned on the pole. Moreover, the globes are spaced apart from each other a distance that is less than a length of the rods. Thus, the rods curve outwardly from the pole when the rods are coupled between the globes thereby facilitating the plurality of rods to define a sphere surrounding the plant. A net is positionable around the rods when the rods are positioned in the globes having the net surrounding the plant. In this way the net inhibits animal pests from accessing the plant.

The present invention relates to a method for distributing particulate material in a target area. The method comprises the steps of (i) providing in a reservoir particulate material comprising particles to be distributed in a target area, which reservoir is provided with exits, (ii) providing a gas displacer, (iii) generating with the gas displacer a forced gas flow in the blow direction, and iv) directing the particles from the exits in the forced gas flow. The invention further relates to a device for performing the method according to the invention. Further aspects of the invention relate to the use of the device for distributing particulate material, a gas flow modification device, the use of such modification device for modifying the gas flow in a device for distributing particulate material and a kit of parts comprising (a) the gas flow modification device and (b) a device for distributing particulate material.

The environmentally-controlled security enclosure for plant material is adapted for use with a plant. The environmentally-controlled security enclosure for plant material is an environmentally-controlled space within which a plant may be grown, stored, and secured. The environmentally-controlled security enclosure for plant material comprises an inner housing, an environmental system, an internal frame, an outer frame, and a control system. The plant is maintained within the inner housing. The environmental system controls the environmental conditions within the inner housing. The internal frame is a framework upon which the inner housing, the environmental system, and the control system are mounted. The outer frame is an exterior shell within which the internal frame, the inner housing, the environmental system and the control system are contained.

A root protective barrier includes a sidewall and a base. The sidewall includes a plurality of crisscrossing rods defining openings therebetween. The sidewall further includes an upper edge defining a top opening and a lower edge defining a bottom opening. The base includes a plurality of crisscrossing rods defining openings therebetween. The base further includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer edge. The lower edge of the sidewall is coupled to the upper surface of the base so that the base covers the bottom opening. The root protective barrier is made of a polymer, such as a plastic, so that the root protective barrier does not degrade over time.

Disclosed is a system having a base and a screened enclosure for disposition on the ground for growing plants. The base forms a hollow enclosure into which a growing medium can be disposed. The screened enclosure is mounted on the base and is in the form of a plurality of elongated frame members, plural upper screen members and plural lower screen members. Each of the screen members has an opposed pair of side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge. The frame members extend upward from the base and are spaced apart from one another. Each of the frame members includes a first respective section arranged to slidably receive a respective side of a respective lower screen member therein and a second respective section arranged to slidably receive a respective side of a respective upper screen member therein. Each of the upper and lower screen members are arranged to be individually removed from their respective sections of their associated frame members to enable each of the screen members to be individually removed from the frame members.
