A backpack tool system and a backpack power supply apparatus for use with an electric tool. The backpack power supply apparatus includes a battery pack for providing electric energy, a body for carrying the battery pack, and a wearable device connected to the body and wearable by a user to carry the body. The battery pack is detachably connected to the body. The body defines a plane and a height extending in a heightwise direction. The body is at least partially symmetrical about the plane. The wearable device includes a strap, which includes an upper end connected to an upper portion of the body. The upper end of the strap applies a force to the body when the user wears the wearable device. An included angle between a projection of a direction of the force on the plane and the heightwise direction is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 50 degrees.

A lockable equipment rack for a backpack blower is presented. A lockable equipment rack includes adjustable components configured to storage of a variety of backpack blowers. The equipment rack can be installed in a variety of locations, for example a trailer, and securely store the backpack blower. The lockable equipment rack prevents theft of the backpack blower and tampering of its components.

An apparatus for applying a desired amount of mechanical abrasion to plants and selective cutting of undesirable plant material. The apparatus includes a base, a brush and an elevation device for maintaining the base at desirable height. The base has a first longitudinal axis and a plurality of grooves, the grooves being oriented approximately perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis. The brush has a second longitudinal axis and a plurality of bristles and/or blades extending outwardly from the second longitudinal axis. The brush is attached to the apparatus such that the second longitudinal axis is substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis and the brush is rotatable about the second longitudinal axis. The brush is spaced from the base such that the plurality of bristles engage the plurality of grooves. The base is adjustable enabling the operator to move the base closer or further from the rotating brush/blades.

Plants are positioned in containers on a conveyor having conveyor rails. The conveyor rails pass into a radiation space above a roof of a building, along an exterior side of the building and into a processing space below the roof of the building. One or more of the conveyor rails in the radiation space may be supported by a frame. A part of the conveyor extends horizontally above the roof of the building, and another part of the conveyor extends vertically along the exterior side of the building. Water pipelines and a dispenser are provided in the processing space and not in the radiation space, the dispenser being positioned below the roof of the building. The conveyor moves the plants between the radiation space and the processing space during the plants' lives. The frame may be moved to raise or reposition the conveyer in the radiation space.

A gardening tool is described comprising a base having a substantially flat plate with a face surface and a back surface; and one or more tines connected to and extending substantially perpendicular to a horizontal plane of the face surface of the flat plate. In some embodiments, the base of the tool is formed into a crescent shape.

A method and system for fostering controlled growth of a turfgrass in a target area, includes: providing an autobot capable of automatically applying a UVC light treatment to the target grass area, wherein the target grass area comprises C4 turfgrass. The method and system includes coupling a UVC light subsystem to the autobot such that the UVC light subsystem is suspended above the C4 turfgrass within the target grass within a first predetermined range. Next, UVC light is generated by the UVC light subsystem with a wavelength within a second predetermined range. Subsequently, the UVC light is emitted from the UVC light subsystem to the C4 turfgrass at an intensity within a third predetermined range. And the UVC light is moved across the C4 turfgrass within the target grass area using the autobot at night at a speed within a fourth predetermined range.

The invention relates to a station (1) for a self-moving device (2), in particular lawn-care self moving device, comprising at least one support member, in particular wall (14), and at least one canopy part (10), wherein the canopy part extends from the at least one wall (14) and is configured for parking the self-moving device at least partially under the canopy part, wherein the station is provided with a water inlet (15) and water supply device (30) and an electrical power inlet (16) and an electrical supply device (32), the water supply device (30) and the electrical supply device (32) being configured for connecting the self-moving device (2). The invention further relates to a system (3) comprising the station and the self-moving device (2).
