A method and system for eradicating insects in palm trees (such as arecaceae) by means of a lower stem encasement embedded with fumigant. Said encasement comprised of a plastic, polymer sheet with internal, flexible foam lining. The lining having a plurality of apertures configured to receive a multitude of fumigants (such as aluminum phosphide tablets) therein. The invention being wrapped around the perimeter of the aforementioned palm tree and selectively affixed by means of adhesive strips and adjustable strapping on distal ends. While it is well-known that such insects respond well to fumigants, it is difficult to make contact with them in the center of a tree. An object of the invention is to impregnate an Arecacae tree with fumigants by means of a non-invasive fumigant wrap system.

A tree net assembly includes a pole vertically oriented and positioned adjacent to a plant. Each of a pair of globes is slidably positioned around the pole, and each of the globes has a plurality of wells each extending toward a center of a respective one of the globes. each of a pair of rods is comprised of a resiliently bendable material. Each of the rods is removably coupled between the globes when the globes are positioned on the pole. The globes are spaced apart from each other a distance less than a length of the rods. The rods curve outwardly from the pole between the globes such that the rods define a sphere surrounding the plant. A net is positionable around the rods to surround the plant.

A plant bulb protection assembly includes a tube has a first end that is tapered to penetrate ground. The tube has an inside diameter that is sufficient to accommodate a plant bulb and surround the plant bulb when the tube is inserted into ground. The tube is comprised of a resilient material to inhibit being chewed or otherwise penetrated by a rodent thereby protecting the plant bulb from being eaten by the rodent. A cage is coupled to the tube to inhibit rodents from entering the tube from above the ground. A retainer is coupled to the tube and a grapple is movably coupled to the tube. The grapple is positioned on an opposite side of the tube with respect to the retainer. Moreover, the grapple releasably engages the retainer on an adjacent one of the tubes with respect to the tube on which the grapple is positioned.

A tree/shrub protector includes a circular underground drip reservoir that may hold about seven gallons of water and extended about eighteen inches underground. It focuses water and nutrients onto a root ball to encourage downward root growth. Above ground modules include a hard shell reservoir that provides pest protection as well. Another above ground module is a wire type protective fence and/or trellis that has reservoirs as well. A second embodiment has a grill or fence having spikes driven into the ground for support. One or more water reservoirs are integrated into the fence. Variable flow drip tubes feed underground drip pipes from the reservoirs. Vertical poles have uses including tree support, holding a winter shroud, and supporting a fence and/or trellis. The fence is modular to fit inside a thin box. An optional anti-rodent spiked ring is included. All embodiments can reduce returns to a tree vendor.

Soil form structure for supporting hardscape and corresponding vehicle, pedestrian traffic, and other loads while maintaining uncompacted or loosely compacted soil underneath. A number of cell structures may be coupled to each other, where each cell has a strong yet lightweight and open structure that can accept uncompacted soil, vegetation roots, utilities, and the like within at least approximately 85-90% of its volume, while also allowing hardscape to be poured or formed thereon. Thus, cell structures allow for hardscape to be integrally formed with the cell structures, without need for an underlying layer of highly compacted soil or other hardscape support.

A grow tube includes a first side, a second side, a first end portion, a second end portion, a first edge portion, a second edge portion, and a vent. The second side is opposite the first side, the second end portion is opposite the first end portion, the second edge portion is opposite the first edge portion, and the first and second edge portions and the first and second end portions define the first and second sides. The vent extends between the first side and the second side and comprises a flap and an opening. The vent can be V-shaped in some instances. The grow tube can also include one or more locking tabs and/or adjustment mechanisms, which allow the grow tube to be moved between tubular and flat configurations and/or allow a diameter of the grow tube in the tubular configuration to be adjusted, respectively.

An enclosing plant sheath for encircling and protecting a plant stem or vine, which may be joined with other similar sheaths, to create a beneficial microenvironment for developing plants.

A double-sided root barrier has an inside channel formed on an inside surface. The inside channel is formed between the inside channel inside surface and the transition area inside surface. The transition area inside surface is formed at an angle to an outside channel inside surface. The outside channel inside surface is formed at an angle to the inside surface. An outside channel is formed on an outside surface, and the outside channel is formed between an outside channel outside surface and a transition area outside surface. The transition area outside surface is parallel to the transition area inside surface. The outside channel outside surface is parallel to the outside channel inside surface, and the transition area outside surface is formed at an angle to the inside channel outside surface.

Protective bags having bag bodies formed by or with meshed fabrics can be used to protect potted plants from plant bugs. The protective bags are sized and shaped to protect both the plant top section and the plant root system or just the plant root system. Accessible seams or windows can be provided to access the interior of a bag for watering, feeding plant food, and/or pruning purposes. The protective bags can be sized and shaped to work with potted plants using soils or hydroponic systems.

Growing systems may include a number of modular growing chambers with integrated support columns that eliminate the need for an external support frame and which provide a simple way to remove chambers from a stack for harvesting. The chambers can be assembled around a growing plant. Pins provided on the support columns ensure alignment and provide for easy removal of a lower chamber by first supporting the stack and slightly lowering it relative to the stack. The chamber structure supports harvesting processes that permit harvesting of a chamber simply by shifting it relative to the stack and supporting the other chambers in a vertical position andshifting the chambers. A portable shifting device may provide automated support, shifting and removal of one or more chambers for harvesting.
