    Abstract: A gardening tool adapted to being attached to a rake, the rake having an elongated handle and teeth. The gardening tool comprises a blade, an attachment system, a prong attachment and a prong. The blade has a perimeter defined by a first and a second lateral edges as well as a first and a second transversal edges. The attachment system, which attaches the blade to the rake, is operative to secure the blade against the teeth of the rake. The prong attachment is located on the blade proximate to the first lateral edge. The prong, being pivotally attached to the blade through the prong attachment, may selectively adopt one of the following positions: a) extending primarily beyond the first transversal edge; b) extending primarily beyond the first lateral side; and c) being stored primarily within the perimeter.

    Abstract: A continuous round baler forms a cylindrically-shaped bale by spiral, coiled layers created by a conical portion of a bale-forming chamber and protruded upwardly from a cylindrical portion of the bale-forming chamber. The bale is circumferentially supported by netting applied to the bale in the cylindrical portion. A rotary feed table receives crop from the field and feeds the crop into the conical portion. The bale forming process can be interrupted if an insufficient volume of crop is collected on the rotary feed table. The netting material is provided on short rolls to facilitate loading onto the machine. A cutoff mechanism is coupled to the growth of the bale from the cylindrical portion to sever the bale at a predetermined length with end surfaces that are perpendicular to the axis of the bale. A bale density mechanism supports the distal end of the bale as the bale protrudes upwardly.

    Abstract: A closed loop sub-irrigation self-watering planter of unitary construction amendable to additive or subtractive manufacturing. A three-dimensional outer mold line decorative flowerpot fused to a structural strength and moisture air lattice barrier, that is fused to a self-watering inner mold line sub irrigated planter. A divider divides an upper space of the planter for soil and a lower space for a water reservoir, wherein a conduit extends from the reservoir through the divider to an open end of the upper space, wherein the reservoir can be filled through the conduit. A soil opening in the divider communicates soil in the upper space with soil compacted in the second portion. A drain hole near an upper portion of the reservoir results in all water from the reservoir to pass through saturation holes in the second portion into the compacted soil therein for leaching into the soil of the upper spaced.

  • Publication number: 20210251163
    Abstract: A hybrid plant growing system that supports aeroponic and hydroponic/deep-water cultures is based upon an elongated growing table configured to receive a plurality of reconfigurable panels with openings for cuttings, clones, or larger plants in net cups or pots. A spray manifold includes a plurality of spray heads under sufficient pressure to mist the root portions of the growing plants. Removable and replaceable baffle plates enable the system to support aeroponic plant culture with the baffle plates in position, as well as a hydroponic or deep-water plant culture, wherein the roots of the plants are allowed or encouraged to invade into the nutrient solution. End-wall ports enable a plurality of the tables to be serially cascaded and share a common reservoir. At least two sizes are provided, including longer tables having a length of about 8 feet, and shorter tables having a length of about 4 feet.

  • Publication number: 20210251164
    Abstract: Disclosed a hole plate rack capable of adjusting a distance between a plant root system and a nutrient solution level. Height adjustment structures are added on both sides of the hole plate rack to adjust the distance between a seedling root system and the nutrient solution level. The height adjustment structures are designed on both sides of the hole plate rack, and include grooves dug in both sides of the hole plate rack, and height cushion blocks. Inner walls of the grooves are provided with height cushion block separators. The height cushion blocks are rotatably connected into mounting holes in the inner walls of the grooves through plug pins, and are rotated to different positions to realize height adjustment.
