FLUID RETENTION ASSEMBLY
20200404868 · 2020-12-31 ·

A fluid retention assembly includes a housing that may be positioned on a support surface. The housing is located proximate a downspout of a building. The housing has an upper section removably coupled to a bottom section of the housing. A lip is coupled to and extends outwardly from the outer wall of the bottom section. A spout extends through the housing to be directed into the downspout. The fluid enters the fluid opening, allowing the spout to capture the fluid. A first hose is fluidly coupled to the spout, directing the fluid into the housing. A pump is positioned within the bottom section of the housing. The pump is immersed in the fluid when the fluid is directed into the bottom section. A spigot is coupled to the housing. A second hose is fluidly coupled between the spigot the pump. The pump urges the fluid outwardly through the spigot. A power supply is electrically coupled to the pump.

Self watering bottle planter insert

The self watering bottle planter insert allows a regular bottle to be transformed into a hydroponic planter. The self watering bottle planter insert is insertable into a bottle and removes the need for a separate source of nutrients. The planter uses composite media with an enriched substrate layered beneath a more standard hydroponic growth media to add nutrients to the water for the life cycle of the plant.

Hydroponics apparatus, system and method

Tray assemblies organized in a vertical stack with a grow light positioned above each. Plant nutrient solution flows into a feed reservoir positioned in a first end of the top assembly. When plant nutrient solution reaches the level of outlets positioned in a sidewall of the feed reservoir, it flows into longitudinal channels positioned on the tray assembly. A collection reservoir at a second end of the tray assembly collects excess solution from the channels. A lip positioned between the channels and the collection reservoir retains some of the solution in the channels so it is available to plants held by the tray assembly. Excess solution flows from the collection reservoir of the top tray assembly to a feed reservoir serving the next tray assembly in the stack. The pattern is repeated while alternating the orientation of each tray assembly such that solution is provided to each tray assembly.

HUB AND SPOKE MODULAR FARM SYSTEM
20200359569 · 2020-11-19 ·

A modular farm system is provided having a hub container and pluralities of farm containers connectable to the hub container. A passageway is provided between the hub container and each farm container. The hub container includes a shared workspace and at least one shared utility for distribution among the farm containers. Each farm container includes a work zone and a grow zone. A plurality of plant panels and a lighting system are mounted for growing plants in a controlled environment within the grow zone.

FLOWERPOT

A flowerpot is disclosed. The flowerpot includes a main body configured to provide a planting space in which an upper portion is open and a central portion is passed through by a through portion in a front and rear direction, a self-watering module installed in the through portion to form water by condensing moisture in the air, and a water supply hole provided on a bottom of the through portion so as to guide the water formed by the self-watering module to the planting space provided in a lower side of the through portion.

Aeration container
10827688 · 2020-11-10 · ·

An aeration container system for plants having aerial roots, comprising an aeration container comprising a plurality of elongate curved vanes, each vane comprising a top portion, lower portion, a first planar side and a second planar side opposing the first planar side, the planar sides connecting a front edge, outer edge and the top and bottom portions. A reservoir is also provided wherein each vane is equidistantly spaced and attached perpendicular to an outside surface of the reservoir and focus light and ambient airflow from outside the aeration container to inside the aeration container.

GARDENING APPARATUS

A gardening apparatus includes one or more of a base, a fluid reservoir, and a plant tray or support disposed on the reservoir. The support is adapted for receiving one or more modular plant inserts, and can define a flow structure for channeling fluid to each insert. A pump supplies fluid from the reservoir to the plant tray or support, with a light assembly adapted to generate a spectrum of light for growth of plants from the inserts. A processor is configured for controlling fluid flow from the pump, the light spectrum generated by the lighting elements, or both. For example, the processor can use a dynamic recipe, algorithm or control schedule to modulate the fluid flow or spectrum based the plant type, growth stage, height, plant health data, digital phenotyping data, or ambient conditions, or a combination thereof.
