An apparatus and method to regulate the fluid level in a plant watering device is described. In an embodiment, the plant watering device comprises a fluid reservoir that is supported by an adapter/fluid regulator that sits within a hollow permeable plant stake. The plant stake is designed to be pressed into soil adjacent to a plant growing in the soil. The adapter sits within the plant stake and acts as a valve with a variable settings that controls the depth of water in the plant stake. Exposing the permeable plant stake to various levels of water affects the rate of permeation through the stake and thereby regulates the watering rate for the plant.

A system for normalizing tank pressures includes a controller, a holding tank, a first reservoir, a first valve fluidly coupled to the first reservoir and communicatively coupled to the master controller, a distribution line fluidly coupling the holding tank to the first valve, a first sensor communicatively coupled to the controller, where the first sensor is configured to output signals corresponding to a fluid level within the first reservoir, and an instruction set that causes the processor to: receive signals from the first sensor, determine whether the fluid level within the first fluid reservoir is below a first threshold, generate a first signal to open the first valve when the fluid level is below the first threshold such that fluid from the holding tank fills the first reservoir, and generate a second signal to close the first valve when the fluid level is not below the first threshold.

A method for pumping seeds to an assembly line grow pods includes releasing seeds to a pipe in fluid communication with a pump, moving water from a water source to the pipe in fluid communication with the pump, combining the seeds released from the tank with the water from the water source in the pipe, and pumping the combination of the seeds released from the tank and the water from the water source to a grow pod line in fluid communication with the pump, and moving the seeds from the grow pod line to one or more carts of an assembly line grow pod.

A stackable vertical garden system includes a base to hold and receive water, a rotation system engaged with the base and having a motor engaged with a first gear and a second gear, a bearing system having an inner race rigidly attached to the second gear and an outer race to remain stationary; the motor causes rotational movement of the inner race; a stacking base to engage with the inner race such that the stacking base rotates; a stationary brace engaged with the stacking base to receive a water source; and a first plant holder engaged with the stacking base, the first plant holder having plant receivers; a water chamber extending vertically through the stacking base and first plant holder to transfer water to a top of the stackable vertical garden system; a power source connects to the motor for rotation of the stackable base.

A self-watering planter of unitary construction amendable to additive manufacture is provided. A divider divides an upper space of the planter for soil and a lower space for a water reservoir, wherein a conduit extends from the reservoir through the divider to an open end of the upper space, wherein the reservoir can be filled through the conduit. The divider provides a planar first portion and a tubular second portion that depend therefrom into the reservoir. A soil opening in the first portion communicates soil in the upper space with soil compacted in the second portion. A drain hole near an upper portion of the reservoir results in all water from the reservoir to pass through saturation holes in the second portion into the compacted soil therein for leaching into the soil of the upper spaced.

A smart home gardening cabinet is disclosed that includes a plurality of plant growing drawers each having a vertical lift door and an automatic precision weather system to grow a specific type of plants, each automatic precision weather system includes an array of lights for photosynthesis, an air circulation system, and a water circulation system that provides nutrient water to the specific plants in each plant growing drawer; each plant growing drawers having a plant growing tray that includes an array of growing holes filled with a sponge materials to absorb and retain nutrients which are misted to the roots of the plants, excess nutrient water being returned to the water circulation system to save water.

The invention relates to a combined intelligent recyclable planting device which includes a bracket, a plurality of planting baskets arranged on the bracket and a circulation mechanism. The bracket includes a base plate, a plurality of vertical support rods and a plurality of lateral support rods. The vertical support rod is composed of a plurality of expansion joints. The planting basket includes an outer basket disposed on the lateral support rod, and an inner basket disposed in the inner cavity of the outer basket. The circulation mechanism includes a filter control box and a water storage tank. The filter control box is provided with a filter, a first water pump, an air pump and a controller. The water tank box is provided with a float liquid level switch and a second water pump. The combined intelligent recyclable planting device has simple and reasonable structure, easy to use, convenient disassembly and assembly, and high degree of intelligence. It does not pollute the planting environment, is not limited by the light intensity of the site, and can freely change the planting area, etc. It can effectively solve the problem that vegetable cultivation is limited by the planting environment.

A planter wherein a water tray is positioned in the bottom of a front compartment of a housing and has a bottom surface angled downwardly to the horizontal. A water generating unit comprising a Peltier device is also mounted in the front compartment and draws air through a plurality of vertically disposed cold sink fins such that moisture in the air condenses on the fins, flows downwardly by gravity into the water tray, and then by gravity through the water tray and into the bottom of a plant container portion of the housing.
