MODULAR PLANT GROWTH APPARATUS
A modular plant growth apparatus for large-scale commercial and residential uses having a housing with a top portion which is a flat panel, a bottom portion and two sides, each side having several hinges which can hingedly connect to a corresponding side of another flat panel, the top portion having a front side with removable plant wells, the bottom portion being angled to act as a stability support portion. The apparatus also including a light source. Several housings can be hingedly connected to corresponding other housings so various modular configurations can be formed so as to maximize plant growth.
Modular Floating Structure
A floating wetland structure including a plurality of floating connected modules, each module having a frame that is at least partially hollow and a support structure adapted to support a plurality of containers for growing plants in the wetland.
Weed barrier and method of use
A weed barrier includes a rigid body defining a plurality of basins. The basins have bottoms with holes therethrough for planting garden plants. In a particular embodiment the bottom surface of the weed barrier includes a plurality of hose channels configured be positioned over a hose. Several example configurations of rigid weed barriers are disclosed.
Interlocking tongue and groove vegetation planting assembly
An interlocking tongue and groove vegetation planting assembly provides a self-supporting arrangement of pentagon-shaped plant containers and triangle-shaped plant containers that are alternatively stacked, and detachably fitted together with support blocks having a central tongue on one end and a pair of legs on an opposite end that fit together in a tongue-and-groove relationship through the support sleeve. Both the pentagon-shaped and triangle-shaped plant containers include a plant chamber, and an adjacent support sleeve. The plant chamber has multiple sidewalls sloped at an angle. The plant chamber also has a floor wall that forms drainage holes near the junction of the plant chamber and the support sleeve sidewalls. The pentagon-shaped plant container is half the width and length of the triangle-shaped plant container to allow sunlight to reach lower stacked triangle-shaped plant chambers. The tongue-and-groove stacking arrangement creates multiple points of contact throughout each sidewall for equal weight distribution.
Horticulture Grow System for Horticulture
In some implementations, an indoor grow system for plants includes at least a plant substrate system; a luminaire positioned adjacent to the plant substrate system, the luminaire includes a plurality of grow light panels, a lighting frame, and at least one luminaire connector, the lighting frame includes a plurality of frame members, the at least one luminaire connector is coupled between one frame member and another frame member adjacent to the one frame member, the luminaire connector adjusts the spatial position of the plurality of frame members that define the lighting frame and shape of the luminaire; and a plant canopy zone, defined between the plant substrate system and the luminaire rendered in a curvilinear configuration, and whereby the plant canopy zone defines a curvilinear space for illuminating the plants.
AQUATIC WEED PLANTING PLATE FOR AQUARIUM
An aquatic weed planting plate for an aquarium is disclosed. The aquatic weed planting plate for aquarium includes a plate body and at least four feet. A plurality of planting holes is formed in the plate body at intervals. A plurality of dirt collecting holes is formed around each planting hole. The plate body is provided with fixing devices for fixing aquatic weeds, and each fixing device corresponds to one planting hole. The fixing device includes a fixing sleeve, two clamping members and a luminous ring. The plate body is provided with nets for collecting dirt, each net corresponds to one dirt collecting hole, the lower portion of each net is provided with a connecting tube; a plurality of conveying pipes is also arranged below the plate body, each conveying pipe is communicated with the plurality of connecting tubes, each connecting tube is communicated with the corresponding conveying pipe.
Grow Fence Garden Planter and Bird and Small Animal Feeder System
The grow fence garden planter and bird and small animal feeder system for planting vegetation or bird and small animal feeder in limited space by stacking in standard vertical posts and horizontal rail is disclosed. The vertical posts provide structural support to the fence and horizontal rail provide base for growing vegetation. The vertical post can be provided with metallic support for fixing on hard floor. The vegetation can be planted directly in vegetation holes in horizontal rail or can be planted in the vegetation pots. If horizontal rails of grow fence are not being used either as bird and small animal feeder or growing vegetation, the faces of the horizontal rails with holes turned in downwards direction. A feeding platform and bird bath can be also installed in the same way as vegetation pots. A lighting arrangement is provided to illuminate the system in night.
Hydroponic Growing System
Hydroponic growing systems are gaining in popularity because of the relative ease of use and these systems eliminate the traditional problems with growing plants in earth: insects and fungus, among other issues. Hydroponic growing systems do not depend on soil and therefore the issue of insects and bugs and/or other harmful elements to plants are largely avoided. The device in this case circulates water through a closed system on a timed basis; the primary issue for this system is accommodating the right growing conditions for the plant. This issue is addressed by using substrate to promote healthy plant growth.
MOBILE ROBOT AND ROBOTIC FARMING SYSTEM
A robotic farming system includes a storage structure and a mobile robot. The storage structure has a set of parallel rails and is configured to accommodate crops in a plurality of horizontal rows arranged in a vertical direction. The robot includes a body, a mobility assembly to move the body along the set of parallel rails and a service effector for servicing the crops. The service effector may be provided on a plate that is extendable in a vertical direction relative to the body for servicing the crops accommodated within the storage structure. In one aspect, the service effector includes one or more nozzles for spraying fluid such as water, a gas or growth media on the crops. Alternatively, the service effector may be a manipulator and/or pruning tool.
STACKABLE PLANT POT ASSEMBLY
The present invention is directed to a stackable pot assembly having pots arranged in horizontal and vertical directions to form the stacked pot assembly. The assembly includes two or more blocks mounted over each other. The first block mounted over the floor having one or more rows of twin-bases arranged lengthwise or side-by-side. The upper blocks mounted one over another, and the upper blocks mounted over the first block. The upper block comprises twin-pots and round-pots. The twin-pots and round-pots have feet configured in their bottom, wherein the twin-pot have two spaced-apart feet while the round pot has a single feet. A lid secures the twin-bases, twin-pots, and round-pots, wherein the lid is having apertures for receiving the feet when a twin-pot or a round-pot is mounted over the lid secured to below block. The lid is further having a plant hole.
