Abstract: A method and apparatus for harvesting crayfish in a shallow aquatic bed as disclosed. A plurality of one way traps are aligned in a linear array and supported by a frame that extends above the water level. The traps are lowered into the water for a set time of 5 to 120 minutes, and then raised to discharge the collected crayfish into a collection hopper. While the traps are out of the water, the linear array is advanced 3 to 12 meters along an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the array. The crayfish are conveyed from the collection hoppers to a single storage tanks by a water sluice conveyor. The trap set and the discharge cycle is repeated until the harvester has traversed the aquatic bed.

Abstract: To provide water to a plant in a standard pot, a removable, preassembled plastic separator disc fits within the walls of the pot near its bottom to form a soil compartment above it for the roots of the plant and a water reservoir beneath it. Water is supplied to the soil for the plant by a porous plug that extends through the center of the plastic divider into the water compartment below it. Water is added to the water compartment through a first plastic tube and air is displaced through a second plastic tube both of which extend through the disc and soil. The separator disc is preassembled into a kit with porous plug and tubes to fit standard tapered pots.
