Abstract: A method for operating a greenhouse system with block storage, at least one block storage container and at least one vehicle. Each block storage container has a carrier frame and a plant receptacle, the plant receptacle being detachably engaged with the carrier frame, the block storage having at least one first zone and one second zone, and at least one first carrier frame and at least one second carrier frame, the plant receptacle in the first zone being detachably engaged with the first carrier frame; and the plant receptacle being subsequently transferred into the second zone, the plant receptacle being transferred from the first carrier frame to the second carrier frame as part of the transferal from the first zone into the second zone, the plant receptacle in the second zone being detachably engaged with the second carrier frame.

Abstract: A greenhouse assembly and method of ventilating the greenhouse assembly. The greenhouse assembly includes a housing, an interior space arranged within the housing, several plant tiers arranged within the interior space one over the other in the direction of gravity, a lighting assembly acting upon the plant tiers, and an air supply. The air supply has at least one distribution space which, with an air-permeable membrane, adjoins the interior space.

Abstract: A plant carrier includes an irrigation chamber, an inlet, and a drain which has a drain path arrangement. The drain path arrangement has a first drain path with a first flow direction and a second drain path with at least one outlet into the first drainage path and, in a region of the at least one outlet, a second flow direction of the second drain path has a directional component opposing first flow direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for growing plants includes a plant mat carrier having a plant mat support surface and a tray in which the plant mat carrier is arranged. The plant mat carrier is buoyant.

Abstract: A block storage arrangement and method. The block storage arrangement includes at least one block storage element receiving space; a loading space arranged below the block storage element receiving space; an opening, which is arranged between the block storage element receiving space and the loading space, having a holding device, so that a direction from the loading space into the block storage element receiving space defines an insertion direction, and a centering device, which is arranged in the block storage element receiving space, that is movable in the insertion direction in the block storage element receiving space.

Abstract: A stacking storage arrangement includes multiple container receiving spaces, a loading space arranged below the container receiving spaces, in which the container receiving spaces are held at a first height above the loading space; and a loading vehicle movable between the loading space and a transfer region. The loading vehicle includes a container seat with a container contact surface, and the container seat is movable in a lifting direction. In the container contact surface, the container seat further includes at least two notches opening to at least one side, and at least one transfer device includes transfer fingers configured to match the notches in the container contact surface.

Abstract: A block storage system with a block storage element, which includes a carrier frame and a load-bearing element, and a vehicle and a method for operating the block storage system. The method includes, via the vehicle, at least one of detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame or engaging the load-hearing element with the carrier frame.

Abstract: Block storage element and method for supplying liquid to a block storage element. The block storage clement has an overflow and the method includes introducing the liquid into an overflow distributor with a distributor limit. The liquid is throttled by at least one passageway arranged in the distributor limit and gets into a tub area of the block storage element, and the liquid that is not drained by way of the at least one passageway is discharged via. the overflow.

Abstract: A method for operating a greenhouse system with block storage, at least one block storage element and at least one vehicle. Growth conditions for plants are to be improved. To this end, each block storage element has a carrier frame and a plant receptacle, the plant receptacle being detachably engaged with the carrier frame, the block storage having at least one first zone and one second zone, and at least one first carrier frame and at least one second carrier frame, the plant receptacle in the first zone being detachably engaged with the first carrier frame; and the plant receptacle being subsequently transferred into the second zone, the plant receptacle being transferred from the first carrier frame to the second carrier frame within the framework of transferal from the first zone into the second zone, the plant receptacle in the second zone being detachably engaged with the second carrier frame.

Abstract: A block storage element which is used for the propagation of vegetable or fungal biomass and is stackable. To enhance functionality of the block storage element, the block storage element includes a fluid reservoir with an overflow mechanism.

Abstract: A greenhouse arrangement that includes a block storage system in which at least one stack of multiple block storage elements can be accommodated.

Abstract: A stacking storage arrangement includes multiple container receiving spaces, a loading space arranged below the container receiving spaces, in which the container receiving spaces are held at a first height above the loading space; and a loading vehicle movable between the loading space and a transfer region. The loading vehicle includes a container seat with a container contact surface, and the container seat is movable in a lifting direction. In the container contact surface, the container seat further includes at least two notches opening to at least one side, and at least one transfer device includes transfer fingers configured to match the notches in the container contact surface.
