A planting device for cultivating plants is disclosed. The planting device includes a planting panel that further incudes a planting material having properties to absorb and retain water and air. The planting panel includes a mesh metal fence panel, such that, the planting material is molded onto the mesh metal fence panel. Additionally, the mesh metal fence panel includes a soaker hose to dispense water to the planting material and a fertilizer groove to supply nutrient material to the planting material through the dispensed water. The planting device further includes one more vertical supports. The planting panel is attached to the one or more vertical supports, via the mesh metal fence panel, to maintain a steady vertical position.

A planting device includes an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell has a closed first cavity therein. The inner shell is disposed in the first cavity. The inner shell is formed with a second cavity having an opening. The second cavity is filled with soil. Plant seeds are placed in the soil. The opening of the second cavity is sealed with a first water-permeable layer. A side wall of the first cavity, opposite the opening of the second cavity, is a seepage layer. A retaining wall is provided around an outer side of the seepage layer to form a water storage trough. A method for manufacturing the planting device is provided. The planting device enables plants to grow out of the shell from a closed cavity, reducing the soil pollution to the environment and the impact on human health. It is convenient for planting, just watering.

A method of producing artificial bio-soil aggregates based on foamed concrete for plant growth that can ensure sufficient moisture and plant nutrients for the habitat of plants in non-soil conditions; obtain a lightweight, durable, and deep soil layer, and continuously provide a favorable environment for plant growth. A paste is prepared by mixing cement with an admixture, such as ochre and burnt-furnace slag; foamed concrete is formed by adding foam bubbles with an appropriate foaming rate to said paste, thereby producing soil concrete. When the foamed concrete is used, a designated compressive strength can be ensured and a number of pore spaces are formed, which allow the air to be sucked and expelled therethrough and store moisture therein. Also, hydrogel that is incorporated into the foamed concrete may supply nutrients required for plant growth, improve pest resistance, and store and supply a large amount of water.

A composite, time-delayed, polymer-coated, granulated material for maintaining hydration in plants is formulated to delay acceptance of water in order to operate in drilling, plugging, and disking equipment used for aeration, soil amendment, or both. Whether potted or outdoors, whether relying on a third-material binder or a small, hydrated portion of the polymer itself as a binder, the material may be injected or otherwise placed below the surface of soils. Water is eventually absorbed sufficiently to expose the bulk of the hydrating particles attached to each granule. Addition of the granulated material as a soil amendment resists dehydration normally occurring in plants between waterings, yet its initial delay in hydrating supports water-jet injection and soil integration by resisting premature expansion from hydration.

A vertical substrate comprised of a gel on a wire or mesh scaffolding may be used for growth of plants. The gel may include two polysaccharide components, with a second of the two components providing increased rigidity and/or adherence to the scaffolding. Plants may be grown, including from seed, in the substrate.

The present invention provides compositions, kits and methods for growing more vigorous, larger, and healthier plants, including from clone cuttings.

Methods for growing plants and seeds are described. Methods may include blending a polyacrylamide polymer with the uppermost portion of the soil, usually top 1 inch of the soil at a rate of around 1 pound polyacrylamide per 100 square feet of soil. The polyacrylamide attaches to the roots of the plant and acts as an extension of the root system facilitating the uptake of water by the plant and increasing the soil permeability around the root system. The method also improves germination of the seeds and facilitates the growth of the resulting plants. The method may be utilized with a variety of plants, sod, and trees.

A mineral wool batt for use as a plant growth medium, particularly in applications for growing vegetation (including plants) in which water retention and/or the avoidance of water run of is of interest. The mineral wool batt has an absorbent layer which comprises needled mineral wool fibres; superabsorbent particles in the absorbent layer may be sandwiched between a denser upper and/or lower barrier layer(s) which assist in preventing their escape.
