Abstract: A seed germination medium includes a roll of matted laminate. The laminate includes at least one biodegradable and water-soluble paper binding layer. Additionally, seeds are disposed on the binding layer, and fertilizer dispersed therein. Furthermore, transmitters may be disposed across the laminate which are in wireless communication with a mobile device having a software application. the transmitter may also include sensors which record information regarding the soil environment of the seed germination medium and transmit that data to the mobile device. As a result, a user is notified of the health of the environment for which the seed germination strip was planted.

Abstract: A collapsible bag holder apparatus includes a fence member, leg members, and hinge members connected between the leg members and the fence member. The hinge members permit the leg members to be oriented with respect to the fence member in either an erect orientation or a collapsed orientation. Angle-control members are connected to the hinge members for contacting the fence member and for limiting an orientation angle between the fence member and the leg members when the leg members are in the erect orientation. The angle-control members are positioned below the fence member for contacting a bottom side of the fence member. An angle-control member is connected between two hinge members which are connected to two leg members and serves as a bridge between the two hinge members. The leg members, the hinge members, and the angle-control members are grouped together in two separate groups, a first leg group and a second leg group. The fence member has a longitudinal fence length.
