Growing system
Growing systems including double-walled growing devices, and methods of making and using the same are provided. Growing devices include two sheets of material, a sprouting layer and a rooting layer, strategically bonded together to form containers for growing plants. Each container includes openings in the layers to allow the plants to grow out of their containers and to allow roots to access water through the rooting layer. The two layers can be formed into a cylinder where the center of the cylinder provides a channel for watering such that the roots grow into that channel. Deployed as a flat sheet of containers, the device can include a third layer to provide a water channel between the rooting layer and the third layer. Growing systems include the device and can also include a system to provide water thereto, and an enclosure around the device for providing an overpressure.
EFFECTIVE AND BENEFICIAL VESSELS AND METHOD FOR GROWING PLANTS TO MANIPULATE ROOT GROWTH
The invention provides flexible or rigid vessels in different configurations with openings at their ends and a hollow body between them for growing plants. The hollow body is filled with a growing medium to manipulate the routing of the plants roots. Such vessels allow growth of plants in a limited space without compromising the ability of the plants to grow roots of natural length; enabling resource savings by reducing amounts of the growing medium and nutrients and their dispersion to the surrounding, evaporation and water infiltration. These advantages result in a reduction of weight of the growing medium for growing roots. These vessels also protect the plant roots from pests and weeds and allow the plants to grow even in unsuitable terrain, such as rocky, salty or contaminated soil. Also, the vessels can be used to grow plants for ornamental purposes in a beautiful and aesthetic way.
MODULAR FLOWER BED SYSTEMS
A flower bed system includes an elongated frame having a first side bar and second side bar in a longitudinal direction thereof, a first and a second riser removably attached to the first and second side bar, respectively, the first riser having a first notch away from the first side bar by a predetermined distance and the second riser having a second notch away from the second side bar by approximately the same predetermined distance, and a flowerpot holder having a first and second pin rigidly protruding from opposite sides thereof, respectively, the first and the second pin being substantially aligned in an axial line transverse a center of the flowerpot holder, wherein the first and second pin removably rest in the first and second notch, respectively, so that the flowerpot holder can rotate freely around the axial line.
CANTILEVERED PLANTER SHELF SYSTEMS
A cantilevered planter shelf for installation on a floor ledge adjacent to a railing of a balcony, porch, deck or stoop is disclosed. The planter shelf includes a horizontal base, a vertical back spine extending upward from a rear portion of the base, a top lip extending forward from an upper portion of the back spine, and a stake inserted through the top lip. The base has a rear support portion adjacent to the back spine that rests on the floor ledge when the planter shelf is installed, and a front cantilevered portion that extends horizontally beyond an edge of the floor ledge. The back spine has a front surface that contacts an interior surface of the railing when the planter shelf is installed. A method of installing a cantilevered planter shelf on a floor ledge adjacent to a railing is also disclosed. The method includes sliding the base of the planter shelf under the railing above the floor ledge, positioning the top lip between adjacent balusters of the railing, and contacting a front surface of a base spine of the planter shelf against an interior surface of the railing to thereby position the planter shelf in a free-standing position. A supported portion of the base rests on the floor ledge, and an extended cantilevered portion of the base extends beyond the edge of the floor ledge.
PORTABLE AND ELEVATED PLANTER BOX AND METHODS OF USE
An elevated planter apparatus positioned above ground, includes a planter box with sides and a bottom, a plurality of aperture connectors connected to said bottom, each of said plurality of aperture connectors provides passageway therethrough, a plurality of tube connectors having a closed end, each of said plurality of tube connectors connected to one of said plurality of aperture connectors, a plurality of rods having a first rod end and a second rod end, said first rod end positioned in the ground and said second rod end inserted in one of said plurality of aperture connectors and one of said plurality of tube connectors, and thus that can be easily incorporated into existing landscaping without damaging, modifying, or changing the existing landscaping.
PLANT CADDY SHELF
An article in the form of a plant caddy shelf for supporting a plant includes a main support platform that is configured for placement on a top surface of a window sill. The main support platform has an area for receiving a plant pot. The area includes a drain hole. A leg support is pivotally coupled to an underside of the main support platform and including a bottom end for coupling to a support surface. A removable drip tray is removably coupled to the underside of the main support platform and is in fluid communication with the drain hole.
HANGING PLANT GROWING APPARATUS
A hanging plant growing apparatus is provided for growing a plant in a hanging container. The hanging plant growing apparatus comprises a frame, suspension lines, a hanging element, and a liner nested within the frame. The suspension lines have a first end and second end. The second end secures to the frame and the suspension lines extend upwardly from the frame. The first end secures to the hanging element. The liner has a plurality of pores throughout and sufficient rigidity to maintain its shape when filled with a growing medium.
HOOK FOR HANGING BASKET
A hook for hanging a basket. A hook includes a wing member which helps in pressing two arms for easy removal of the basket. The hook includes a one way hook for holding a metal loop firmly therein. The hook is inserted into the metal loop and upon insertion of the hook, the metal loop stays firmly in a place thereof held by the one way hook that restricts the metal loop coming out of the hook. The hook provides the combined benefits of both metal hanger and convenience of plastic hanger. The hook is easy and fast to attach and remove if necessary.
