The tree-liner may be inserted in a wire basket and used to wrap, cover and/or protect the roots of young trees and bushes during the lifting, preparation, packaging and shipping process from the nursery to the final user. The tree-liner comprises approximately 80% coir and 20% latex composition by weight. There is also provided a standalone plant container formed from a sheet of the same coir/latex composition. The composition may also be used for bedding, insulation and other various applications. | 01-07-2010 |
20110232175 | REUSABLE PLANT CONTAINER APPARATUS - The invention is a plant container for growing and transplanting plants. More, specifically, the invention is for a plant container that is made of a multi-layered root impenetrable material with a plurality of closure mechanisms that allows a user to more easily remove and transplant a plant as well as monitor plant root growth. | 09-29-2011 |
20110289834 | WEED CONTROL AND ROOT BARRIER - A polyolefin sheet material carries layered segments of a polymer which contains a herbicide such as a 2,6-dinitroaniline. The sheet material can be porous to permit free passage of water. It may be either a perforated sheet or a woven or non-woven material. A desired material is a non-woven fabric of non-biodegradable polyolefin material, such as a geotextile, for example. In order to obtain a root growth-repelling property, the herbicide is blended with a polymer which is attached or bonded to or embedded in the geotextile, or other polyolefin carrier sheet material, in the form of spaced apart layered segments. Diffusion of the herbicide directly into the soil is prevented by a barrier material positioned on, coated on, or otherwise bonded to the layered segments, to encompass surfaces of the segments which are otherwise exposed on the sheet material. Essentially all of the herbicide contained in the layered segments is directed into the soil virtually exclusively by means of its long term migration through the carrier sheet material. | 12-01-2011 |
20140020288 | Root Ball Container - An improved root ball container having a base member and a surrounding sidewall member forming a cavity therein for containing the root ball of a tree or other plant. The opening at the top of the sidewall member is smaller than the length or diameter of the base member, thereby providing stability to the plant during storage, growing and transport. The container may be moisture permeable or solid, and may consist of flexible or rigid sidewall and base members. The base may feature a platform member to further elevate the base member and root ball above the ground surface to prevent root damage during growing and/or storage of the tree or plant root ball enclosed by the root ball container. | 01-23-2014 |
20140059926 | GREENING ROLL - A greening roll includes water-temperature-light controlling part, root growing part, water/root regulating part and seed-stacking part which is located in the water-temperature-light controlling part. The water-temperature-light controlling part is located on the top surface of the greening roll, the water/root regulating part is located on the lower surface of the greening roll, the root growing part is located in the cavity composed by the water-temperature-light controlling part and the water/root regulating part, and the seed-stacking part is located in the cavity of the water-temperature-light controlling part. The water-temperature-light controlling part further includes top-located irradiation reflecting part, temperature-water regulating part, light-preventing part and seed-stacking cavity. The present invention is suitable for the engineering protection and greening of engineering slopes, spoil and slag yards, embankments and the like, the water and soil conservation and greening of sandy lands, abandoned lands, borrow pits, slurry pond, mining fields, industrial and mining abandoned lands and the like, and the engineering thermal insulation and greening of building roofs and the like. | 03-06-2014 |
20140298718 | ROOT DIRECTOR APPARATUS WITH IRRIGATION SYSTEM - There is disclosed an apparatus ( | 10-09-2014 |
047320800 | Method | 6 |
20130014434 | Compositie delivery and nutrient system for agricultural and nursery uses - A method and device for containing or encompassing the roots of the plant comprises a base sheet of material containing at least one selected area on the sheet facing the roots, the at least one selected area containing selected nutrients for promoting plant and/or root growth. | 01-17-2013 |
20130125456 | RING FOR PROTECTING PLANT - A device for protecting a plant includes a body having an open top and an open bottom. The body may be tapered. The body can be pushed into tilled soil around a plant by a person pressing down on the upper edge of the body. The device is used to protect a plant from damage from nearby hoeing, tilling, mowing or other tool use. The device prevents an animal from digging directly next to the roots of a plant. The device localizes water and fertilizer usage to the soil immediately around plant | 05-23-2013 |
20130192132 | WEED CONTROL AND ROOT BARRIER - A weed control root barrier includes a polymeric sheet material having spaced apart nodules or disks comprising a polymer containing a herbicide. The sheet is porous to permit free passage of water. It may be a non-woven fabric of non-biodegradable polyolefin material. Diffusion of the herbicide directly into the soil is controlled by a barrier material coated on selected portions of the nodules or disks. In one embodiment, essentially all the herbicide in the nodules or disks is directed into the soil via long term migration through and away from the sheet. The barrier layer is coated on portions of the nodules or disks facing the back surface of the carrier to block release of the herbicide to areas of the soil where it is not needed. Exposed surface portions of the nodules can be coated with the barrier material, leaving uncoated sides of the nodules from which herbicide may be released into the soil along a narrow zone of protection generally parallel to the front face of the carrier. | 08-01-2013 |
20130333282 | Landscaping Ground Cover System - A landscaping ground cover system and method is disclosed having a ground mat. The ground mat has one or more fill boundaries defining a plurality of fill areas. At least one of the plurality of fill areas has a fill label corresponding to a pre-defined ground cover fill material to be filled into the corresponding fill area. The fill boundaries may form a graphic design on the mat. | 12-19-2013 |
20140230322 | DISPOSABLE DIAPER RECYCLING AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF - One embodiment provides a modular green roof tray, house plant growth media and horticulture growth media, and a tree protection mat for weed and moisture control made from recycled disposable diapers. The growth medium and tree protection mat contain superabsorbent materials from diaper that can absorb waters and greatly reduce irrigation so to provide a drought resistant feature. One embodiment also provides a manufacturing process to perform 100% recycling of disposed diapers. | 08-21-2014 |
20150342130 | ROOT GUIDE FOR LENGTHENING ROOTS OF A PLANT IN A POT - A root guide for lengthening roots of a plant in a pot can include a track spiralling radially from a central axis. The track can spiral for at least two revolutions. In use, roots of the potted plant can spiral down the soil covered track as the plant grows. | 12-03-2015 |
