The present disclosure provides a woody plant seeding formulation for phytoremediation, ecological restoration, land reclamation, environmental rehabilitation, revitalization, revegetation, and reforestation of disturbed and degraded lands. The seeding formulation includes a mix of woody trees or shrubs seeds, organic mulch, beneficial microbial populations, mineral fertilizer, adhesive, absorbent polymer, and water. The present disclosure also provides for pre-treatment of surfaces by spreading or mixing with organic biomass with the surface. Methods of preparing and applying the seeding formulation and pre-treatment are also disclosed.

A face plate for use with a frame of a hydroponic system and a plurality of pod holders each operable to house a growth media to grow one or more plants. The face plate comprising a first edge portion, a second edge portion, and a central portion. The first and second edge portions are slidably engagable with the frame. The face plate is slidable along the frame when the first and second edge portions are slidably engaged with the frame. The central portion extends between the first and second edge portions and includes a plurality of through-holes to receive the plurality of pod holders. The plurality of pod holders are removable from the plurality of through-holes.

The present invention discloses a method for remedying sandy land by using a simulated loam substrate spray-seeding technology. The method includes the following steps: first, carrying out a simple sand-fixing treatment to lay a metal mesh in sandy land, the metal mesh being fixed to the surface of the sandy land by a sand-fixing pile; second, spray-seeding a seed into the sandy land by means of simulated loam substrate spray-seeding; and finally, when the spray-seeding is completed, carrying out maintenance management, including adding a protective plate around the metal mesh, covering with a non-woven fabric, watering, fertilizing, reseeding, and post-monitoring. The method for remedying sandy land by using a simulated loam substrate spray-seeding technology provided by the present invention adopts a two-layer spray-seeding method, and rapidly simulates a simulated loam substrate suitable for plant growth in natural world by bionics; the simulated loam substrate has a good water retention capacity, which is conducive to a higher germination rate of a seed, root development, a microbial activity, nutrient transformation, and plant growth and development; and with less investment and a quick effect, the method is suitable for large-scale sand control.

A modular coco coir grow bag system for cannabis plant includes a starter block comprising a growth medium, wherein the growth medium is adapted to receive a peat based plug with a seedling or cutting of the plant. The system further includes a grow bag comprising a growth medium, wherein the growth medium is adapted to receive at least a portion of the starter block. The growth media of the starter block and the grow bag comprises coconut materials, wherein the starter block and grow bag are provided in a compressed format which expands upon hydration. The grow bag further comprises apertures for water drainage and a mesh insert adapted to hinder exit of coarse particulate matter during water drainage.
