    摘要: An agricultural trellis system is provided and generally includes a notch configured to receive a trellis wire therein and selectively release the trellis wire upward during mechanical pruning. The notch can be positioned on an above-ground portion of a vertical line post or a cross arm. The notch can include a tab extending upward from the bottom of the notch, and a first edge and a second edge each formed on the body. The first edge can be a flat edge and can be positioned laterally outwardly from at least a portion of the second edge, which can be a curved edge. The notch can include a retention protrusion extending laterally into the notch toward the second edge to a position where a lateral distance between the retention protrusion and the first edge in a direction normal to the central plane is less than a diameter of the trellis wire.

    摘要: A trellis is described herein, including a series of upright posts, cross beams supported by the posts in an elevated state, at least one line holder fitted to each beam, each holder having one or more downwardly facing retaining slot or slots, and vine lines connected to the holders such that they are located in and pass through the retaining slots so that the lines run laterally in rows and can be non-destructively removed from the slots by exerting downward pressure on the lines.

    摘要: The present invention provides structures that maximize the use of minimal ground space or pot soil by providing generally vertical outward-sloping multiple cords or net trellis such as to offer increasing volume for plant foliage with height, which is adjustable to the user's desire. A compact kit includes at least two elongated leg member, and at least one elongated support, and can be assembled into structures up to approximately twice as wide at the top as at the base where the plants begin growing in soil. Flaccid replaceable cords when installed incline generally outward and upward to top horizontal rods supporting wining plants to grow generally vertically and even horizontally across the top.

    摘要: The present invention provides elongated structures that maximize the use of minimal ground space or pot soil by providing a generally vertical outward-sloping multiple-cord trellis such as to offer increasing volume and area for plant foliage with height, which is adjustable to the user's desire. A compact kit includes at least four elongated leg members, and at least two elongated support rods, and can be assembled with included Tees into structures up to approximately twice as wide at the top as at the base where the plants begin growing in soil. Once installed, flaccid replaceable cords incline generally outward and upward to top horizontal support rods and engage with climbing plants to assist growth generally vertically and even horizontally across the top.

    摘要: Modular systems for propagating plants in at least one of a hydroponic environment and an aquaponics environment may include at least one tank configured to hold liquid. A modular drive assembly may be carried by the at least one tank. At least one propagation module may be drivingly engaged for rotation by the modular drive assembly. The at least one propagation module may be configured to support and propagate at least one plant. At least one pump may be disposed in fluid communication with the at least one tank. The at least one pump configured to pump the liquid from the at least one tank through the at least one propagation module. Modular methods for propagating plants in at least one of a hydroponic environment and an aquaponics environment are also disclosed.

    摘要: Modular trellis sections of aesthetic appearance that are manually portable and easily installed in residential or commercial gardens, and that can be arrayed to form a linear, a partially enclosed, or an entirely enclosed trellis fence are configured as a basic rectilinear frame formed from a pair of rigid generally parallel vertical rods to which are permanently secured in co-planar relation a first horizontal rod extending between the upper ends of the vertical rods and a second horizontal rod at a predetermined distance from the lower free ends of the vertical rods to define a pair of supporting legs, and vertically spaced rigid supporting hooks that are secured in co-planar relation to the inner facing surfaces of the vertical rods, the openings of the supporting hooks being configured and dimensioned to receive horizontal rails and open mesh wire panels that extend between and link the trellis sections to form a fence. The several configurations of trellis sections, along with other accessories are well suited for sale as kits for installation by both residential gardeners and commercial growers.

    摘要: A cane pedestal for support of grape vine canes incorporates a positioning shaft supported by wires extending between vine stakes. The positioning shaft extends upwardly above a top wire with a suspension arm located proximate a head of the positioning shaft. The suspension arm extends from the positioning shaft with a bight angularly oriented with respect to a vertical axis of the positioning shaft. The suspension arm configured to receive and support grape vine canes.
