A canopy assembly for a barrier defined by at least two sides, wherein the canopy assembly including a cover assembly; and a bracket assembly, coupled to the cover assembly, wherein the bracket assembly includes at least a first bracket for coupling the cover assembly to the first side of the barrier and at least a second bracket for coupling the cover assembly to the second side of the barrier, wherein each of the at least first and second brackets have a cavity dimensioned to receive a plurality of differently dimensioned barrier top rails or wall surfaces.

A web for covering plants with a base film of plastic. An upper region of the base film has a ventilation area extending in the longitudinal web direction and a plurality of openings A plurality of spaced-apart fastening openings are on the upper longitudinal edge of the base film A cover film which runs in the longitudinal web direction of the base film and is reflective on the weather side, is applied to the ventilation area The cover film is welded to the base film in a first and a second connecting region The first and second connecting region are each arranged at least in the longitudinal edge-side region of the cover film and the second connecting region facing the lower longitudinal edge of the cover film has a plurality of welding regions. Each welding region of the second connecting region is associated with the nearest fastening opening.

A device for growing plants above a selected surface includes a bottom member disposed upon a selected surface; a top member disposed upon and secured to said bottom member via two longitudinal securing seams, whereby, said top member includes two outer longitudinal flap portions and a longitudinal center portion, which ultimately receives a growing material in which plants and/or seeds are disposed. The longitudinal flap portions are ultimately folded above the growing material whereby longitudinal edge portions of the flap portions are separated a predetermined distance for allowing water and light to engage the growing material. Pipe members are removably secured to longitudinal edge portions of each longitudinal side of the bottom member, thereby enabling the manual lifting and transport of the device for disposal upon a selected surface.

The invention refers to a tying system employing an accessory bearing a quick attachment hook, for tying a plastic cover film for agricultural crops such as soft fruit covers. Cultivation of soft fruits in covered space has been growing in recent decades. Several solutions have been developed including greenhouses or gable systems. The placement, fastening and fixing of the plastic film is achieved with ropes, elastic cords or soft PVC tubing. However, the cost of binding the plastic film is significant as skilled staff and considerable amounts of man hours are required to tie the plastic film to the supporting structure. Tying the film, in most cases, is carried out by employing knots on grommets that the plastic films.

A method and apparatus for cultivating vegetation at an arid location includes rooting immature vegetation in a mat combined with a super absorbent polymer (“SAP”) and, in embodiments, fertilizer, sand, and/or soil; placing the mat at the arid location; and covering the mat with a perforated, transparent or semi-transparent cover. Most or all of the apparatus can be biodegradable or removable, and the sand or soil can be similar to indigenous sand or soil. A water barrier can be placed below the mat. The cover can be placed on or suspended above the mat. SAP, seeds, and/or additional water barriers can be placed between mats in a stack. The opacity of the cover can be increased to emulate shade from natural vegetation. A water distribution system can be included for continued support of the vegetation, and can include a water reservoir and/or at least one solar still.

A tent configuration having a base unit, a plurality of wall panels removably attached to the base unit and a roof panel removably attached to the base unit. The wall panels and roof panel include a layer of insulation.

A flowering plant growing system utilizes a flowering plant growth assembly that enables the limbs of a flowering plant to be retained and supported along a bud platform to spread the growth out in a planar configuration. This type of growth arrangement may stimulate the plant to produce buds that are distributed across the bud platform and may grow up from the bud platform toward a cover. The height of the bud platform and cover may be adjustable as they are secured to vertical supports by retainers.

The present invention concerns an elongated sheet (1) for covering cultivated plants (2), with a basic film (3) of plastic, wherein a ventilation area (5) extending in the longitudinal sheet direction (L) and having a plurality of ventilation openings (6) is provided in the central area (4) of the basic film (3), wherein at least one ventilation opening (6) comprises two opposite corners (29, 20) of the ventilation opening (6) in a cross direction (Q) of the sheet (1) extending at least substantially orthogonally to the longitudinal sheet direction (L).

A portable shade shelter has a plurality of canopies including at least a first canopy and a second canopy. The first canopy is disposed over the second canopy, and the first canopy is capable of being spaced apart from the second canopy in a vertical direction such that air is capable of flowing between the first canopy and the second canopy. Each of the first canopy and the second canopy includes a plurality of openings configured to permit air and light to pass through the respective first canopy and second canopy.

A collapsible and height-adjustable plant shade is an apparatus that readily extends and retracts around a plant or multiple plants in order to protect the plant or multiple plants from extreme weather. The apparatus includes a scaffolding and a mesh covering. The scaffolding includes a plurality of length-adjustable legs, a collapsible lateral frame, and a roofing frame. Each of the plurality of length-adjustable legs may vary in height in order to accommodate uneven terrain. The collapsible lateral frame connects the plurality of length-adjustable legs with each other and mounts the roofing frame onto the plurality of length-adjustable legs. The mesh covering encloses the scaffolding and shields the plant or multiple plants. The apparatus further includes a plurality of extension lateral panels in order to account for any distance between the mesh frame and the ground due to varying heights of each of the plurality of length-adjustable legs.
