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.

Methods and devices for growing plants in non-native environments and/or protecting crops from adverse weather conditions are disclosed in which sub-surface growing wells are used. The sub-surface growing wells extend below ground-level and include an opening that is exposed to above-ground conditions. The growing wells are outfitted with a well cap positioned above the well opening and the well cap can be moved either down to seal off the well from above-ground conditions or up to expose the well to above-ground conditions. The growing wells can be enhanced with a variety of control and monitoring systems to provide optimal growing conditions for plants contained in the wells.

A folding plant protection cage apparatus for protecting plants from animals includes a set of three hinged side pairs each comprising a pair of panels comprising a left panel and a right panel each comprising a panel frame and a panel face extending from a top edge to a bottom edge and from an outer edge to an inner edge. A door frame is coupled to the panel face. An access door is hingingly coupled to the door frame. A plurality of inner hinges joins the inner edge of each of the left panel and the right panel. A plurality of outer hinge knuckles couples the outer edge of the panel frame of adjacent side pairs. A lid is hexagonal and selectively engageable with the top edge of each panel frame of set of hinged side pairs.

A plant cover apparatus includes a bag having an interior encompassed by a wall that extends from a top end of the bag and tapers inwardly to a bottom end of the bag. The bottom end includes a rim that laterally circumscribes a plant-receiving opening formed through the bag. The bag has a slot that extends vertically from the opening through the wall. The slot includes opposed margins having cooperatively interlocking parts that can temporarily be joined and separated to increase the size of the opening. The bag may be vertically suspended from a support member positioned next to the plant. An exterior perimeter of the bag may be rigid enough to help the bag maintain its shape when suspended.

This invention describes expandable greenhouse for growing plants, mainly trees and shrubs from sprouts to maturity in order to protect them from harsh weather conditions of unusual for them growing zones. Greenhouse expands by re-arranging of constructive elements mainly without addition or removing of those elements.

An agricultural netting material has a construction profile across the width of the netting in which one or more construction elements varies across the width of the netting, a construction element in a first region of at least 20 cm width of the netting being different to the construction element in a second region of at least 20 cm width of the netting, the construction element being one of a yarn thickness, a yarn width, a yarn transmittance, a yarn pigmentation, a yarn reflectance, a yarn absorbance, a netting aperture size, a netting construction pattern and a netting cover factor.

A plant pollination control bag (10) defines, in an expanded condition, a space (12) in which a plant part is receivable. The bag (10) defines an opening (14) through which the plant part passes into the space (12). In the expanded condition, the bag (10) has an end face (16) which is substantially square or rectangular in shape.
