Collapsible plant support
A novel collapsible plant support includes a collapsible coil adapted to rest on a flat surface. In a particular embodiment, the collapsible plant support includes a plurality of vertical support structures coupled to the collapsible coil so as to provide additional support. In another particular embodiment, a collapsible plant support includes plant receptacle receiving element that supports both a collapsible coil and also a plant receptacle. In a more particular embodiment, the plant receptacle receiving element includes fluid ducts for connecting multiple plant receptacle receiving elements into a fluid network. In another embodiment, the coil is disposed within a helical sleeve coupled to a flexible, cylindrical mesh.
VINEYARD FRUIT PROTECTION APPARATUS AND PROCESS
A netting system for protecting vine fruit in a fruit zone from destruction by birds in which a net tunnel is formed around the fruit zone away from the fruit.

TREEFALL PREVENTION TOOL AND TREEFALL PREVENTING METHOD
Provided is a treefall preventing device capable of reliably preventing a planted tree from falling A treefall preventing device 1 is buried in soil such that roots 32 entwine the treefall preventing device 1 as a planted tree 30 grows, wherein the treefall preventing device 1 comprises three or more supporting parts 2 extending in parallel with each other and ring-like retaining bodies 4 supported by the supporting parts 2, and the retaining bodies 4 are secured so as to be placed at intervals along the supporting parts 2. The treefall preventing device 1 is disposed in the bottom part of a planting hole 12, secured by pile members 20, and then buried, and a tree 30 is planted above the buried treefall preventing device 1.
STAKE STABILIZATION MEMBER AND EROSION CONTROL SYSTEM USING SAME
An arbor stake stabilization member and erosion control system using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the erosion control system, a tapered stake and a stake stabilization member work in tandem to secure and stabilize the soil. The stabilization member features an annular ring made from a biodegradable material, an axial passageway for stake placement, and a non-biodegradable locking member for secure stake connection. The erosion control system also includes a plate extending outwardly from the annular ring. The plate, made from a biodegradable material, allows for effective water drainage while maintaining soil stability. The erosion control system offers a sustainable solution for soil stabilization and erosion prevention, combining secure stake placement, effective water drainage, and reduced environmental impact, making it a valuable tool in landscape management and environmental conservation.

ENCAPSULATED AND SEGREGATED GROWTH CONTAINERS
An agricultural yield apparatus with a container made of a material that is impermeable to water and inert without leaching impurities to the surrounding natural environment and thereby is effective in segregating contents of the container from the surrounding natural environment and blocking seepage of the contents to the surrounding natural environment. The container encloses nutrients, water and a growth medium such as soil. The top of the container 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 container may be closed by a root membrane overlay having holes. The trunk of the vegetation passes through the holes in the holed root membrane overlay. Root direction channels may be beneath the overlay.
Trellis assembly
A trellis assembly for decorative trellizing of vines includes a base that is configured to position in soil. A bar is coupled to and extends bidirectionally from a top of the base. The bar is arcuate. A plurality of rods is coupled to and extends radially from the bar. The rods are substantially coplanar. Each rod has a plurality of fasteners that is coupled to and extends from the rod. The fasteners are configured to couple to vines to trellis the vines.
