Abstract: Provided herein is a system for hydroponics growing of plants. A hydroponics system described herein includes: a water tank; a pump; a supply manifold; a drain manifold; a plurality of lower support brackets, each lower support bracket having a lower support bracket cup; a plurality of upper support brackets, each upper support bracket having an upper support bracket cup, where water is supplied from the water tank to each upper support bracket cup via the supply manifold, where water is returned to the water tank from the lower support bracket cup via the drain manifold. The self-contained hydroponics system of an example embodiment further includes a hydroponics system tower disposed between a respective pair of an upper support bracket cup and a lower support bracket cup, where water flows from the upper support bracket cup, through the hydroponics system tower, and out of the lower support bracket cup.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods of providing a large-scale farming apparatus that utilizes a helical design for continuous crop production and cultivation. The invention generally embodies a planting material suspended between two material transport assemblies, configured to move down a helical path. In some embodiments, a depositor may deposit soil, seeds, fertilizer, etc. onto the planting material at the top of the helical path. In some embodiments, a harvester may harvest the crops at the bottom of the helical path and discard the soil into a compost housing. The material transport assemblies may travel back to the top of the helical path, creating a continuous path upon which the planting material may travel. A compost transport system may receive the compost from the compost housing, transport the compost upwards to the depositor, and deliver the compost, as fertile soil, back to the depositor.
