  • Patent number: 11129344
    Abstract: Plants are positioned in containers on a conveyor having conveyor rails. The conveyor rails pass into a radiation space above a roof of a building, along an exterior side of the building and into a processing space below the roof of the building. One or more of the conveyor rails in the radiation space may be supported by a frame. A part of the conveyor extends horizontally above the roof of the building, and another part of the conveyor extends vertically along the exterior side of the building. Water pipelines and a dispenser are provided in the processing space and not in the radiation space, the dispenser being positioned below the roof of the building. The conveyor moves the plants between the radiation space and the processing space during the plants' lives. The frame may be moved to raise or reposition the conveyer in the radiation space.

  • Patent number: 10094116
    Abstract: A plant-cultivation method and system that aids automation of farms/lawns, home-farms, roof-farms and similar conveyor-based farms. The plants are held on the conveyor preferably the whole of their life. The conveyor is operated such that the plants repeatedly visit the same processing resource(s) throughout their life. Repetitive plant processes are automated and centralized including watering, nutrient-feed, pruning, inspecting, treatment, harvesting, etc. Eliminates duplicate resources. Multiple types of plants can be grown simultaneously. Applicable to lawns and eliminates noisy gasoline mowers. Converts building-roofs and walls into fully automated lawns/farms. Home & building owners farm on their building and enjoy the organic harvest and optionally sell to neighbors. Saves on the building energy costs, farming resource capacity and the fossil fuel usage. Helps farming in non-fertile lands. Increases green-house resources efficiency. Adaptable with hydroponic, aquaponic or aeroponic farming methods.

  • Publication number: 20160192594
    Abstract: A plant-cultivation method and system that aids automation of farms/lawns, home-farms, roof-farms, etc. The plants are held on the conveyor preferably the whole of their life. By the operation of conveyor, the plants visit the central plant processing space on a routine basis, throughout the life of the plants. As many processes as wanted are centralized including routine watering, nutrient feed, pruning, inspecting, harvesting, planting, etc. Multiple types of plants can be grown simultaneously. Enables fully automated electric-powered maintenance of lawn, lawn/garden. No more noisy gasoline lawn mowers, water hoses, sprinklers, etc. Helps make green cities by converting roofs of buildings in to lawns/farms. Homeowners can install the automated roof-farms, enjoy the harvest and sell to neighbors. Saves home energy costs. Saves on fossil fuel by reducing transport. Helps use non-fertile lands for farming. Less investment on resources, greenhouses. Helps men & machines to work at their maximum efficiency.
