Abstract: The non-circulating hydroponic kit incorporates a water impervious container capable of holding a variable depth of nutrient solution and a solid container lid with a plurality of apertures through which a multitude of root-impervious tubes or frusto-conical containers can be inserted and supported. The lid stops visible light from entering the plant holding container by fitting over the container, and the reusable tubes can be of a multitude of lengths. Preferred lengths are from 5 to 9 inches long. The tubes have open tops and a plurality of apertures in the side walls, preferably 1/4 to 1/2 inches in diameter. The tube may have a plurality of vertical foils extending inward from the side wall and downward to the lower end to deter roots from spiraling around the side walls. Nutrient solution is placed in the container and the tubes are filled with a particulate growing medium.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for suspending objects such as plants, specifically in a clip and string combination for applying upward direction. One end of the string is fastened to the object to be supported. The string is subsequently placed over a horizontal support wire above the object. The other end of the string is attached to an upper arm of an S-shaped clip, which is bent in two planes and which may alternatively incorporate more adjacent arms. The portion of the string between the object and the support wire is woven between the arms of the clip, which is then pushed downward on the string until it is taut. Periodically, as in the cycle of a plant, the clip can be adjusted along the string.

Abstract: A simple, one person transplanter in use from a standing position having a rectangular, tubular frame, the distance equivalent to the distance required between plants, and a dibble on one end to make the hole for the container which also spaces the plants the proper distance and having a hollow delivery chute for the containerized plants and a pair of opposed trowels for closing the soil around the container and also a platform secured to the upper end to support flats whereby the person doing the transplating is in a standing position at all times.
