Disclosed therein is a binder for horticultural use, which is to be used to tie stems and branches to pros or guiding strings such that garden or agricultural products can be properly grown up. The binder for horticultural use that, instead of a stapler for supplying staples, includes: a taper frame having a holder groove disposed at one side thereof; a binding heating cable unit having a binding heating cable therein for receiving an electric current from a power supply unit; and a holder to which the binding heating cable unit is detachably attached, the holder being inserted into the holder groove, so that the binder can bind both ends of a tape together by partially melting the tape made of synthetic resin material by heat without using the staples.

A solar-powered lighting / illumination fixture for hanging flower planters or potted flowers comprises a body that can be affixed through a central opening or the like to the hanging hardware of the planter. The lighting fixture has solar cells that charge internal batteries during daylight hours and drive lights that illuminate the planter during nighttime hours. The fixture can also be affixed with a spoke that will allow it to be supported in the ground to provide pathway lighting. The lighting is provided through LEDs which also may accommodate light filters that can provide different colors to change the mood of the setting, as well as being provided with an adapter to fit most hanging planters in the market and also provided with an attaching mechanism that allows the height of the lighting fixture above the planter to be adjusted.

This invention relates to a positive displacement pump which allows a liquid additive (such as liquid fertilizer) to be introduced into another liquid stream (such as water) and to be mixed in a constant proportion. One end of the pump can be connected to a faucet and the other end to a typical garden hose or other device. Water enters the pump through a faucet and is redirected (bent) by an upper stator which allows the water to rotate turbine vanes. The turbine is rotatably connected to a cam and the rotation of the cam moves pistons which allows liquid fertilizer to be drawn in from its reservoir. The liquid fertilizer flows through a tube and into one of two pistons. Then, the liquid fertilizer is dispelled through one of the exit tubes through the pumping action of the pistons. The water which was used to turn the turbine then combines with the liquid fertilizer as it comes out of the exit tubes and a water / fertilizer mixture is created.

A front-end gateway unit is designed for integration to a remote ecological environment monitoring system that is equipped with a wireless sensor network (WSN) system installed at a remote site, such as a farmland or a garden, for the purpose of allowing the WSN system to exchange data with a back-end host server via a wireless communication system. The front-end gateway unit is characterized by the capability of using either the WSN system or a built-in sensing module for collecting ecological data, and the capability of combining geographical location data in the ecological data. This feature allows the collection of a comprehensive set of ecological data (including geographical location, temperature, humidity, sunlight data, wind speed, and pest number) for transfer to the back-end host server, such that research / management personnel at the local site can conveniently browse these ecological data and learn the ecological conditions of the remotely monitored area.

A booster system for use with a garden hose includes a water pump, a garden hose, and a hose structure. The water pump has a motor and is designed to produce a maximum water pressure of less than 1000 psi. The garden hose connector is connected to the pump. The hose storage structure for holding a garden hose is proximate to the pump. The booster system also includes a switch for engaging and disengaging the pump.

A combined home garden tool for easily and efficiently removing weeds, digging or leveling of soil, and planting which does not require repetitive kneeling or stooping. The invention includes a long or short handle attached to a unique head having a combined weed remover, pointed or flat trenching tool and soil leveler. The weed removal section includes a set of generally parallel elongated tines with pointed ends, the tines being spaced apart from each other to form as set of narrow V-shaped openings for engagement with weeds that accomplishes removal of the weeds and substantially all of their associated root systems without requiring repetitive kneeling or stooping.

The invention discloses a green rainwater collection and sewage interception system for building districts, which comprises a plurality of subsystems which are serially connected and arranged in a low-altitude greenbelt in a district. Each subsystem comprises a sewage interception infiltration subsystem and route infiltration drainage subsystem. Rainwater flowing in the system is subjected to accumulation, storage, infiltration, detaining and energy dissipation, and amount of thermal rainwater discharge is reduced greatly. When permeating a permeable filling layer, a water-holding garden planting soil layer, a filling layer of the water-holding garden planting soil layer, a filling layer of a filling well and the like outside the system, the rainwater is adsorbed, infiltrated and held, and pollutant carried by the rainwater is removed effectively. Amount and quality of collected water are controlled at the terminal of the system, and the terminal rainwater can be collected for reuse or drained into a municipal rainwater network. In addition, flowing time of the rainwater in drainage is prolonged, urban rainwater flood peaks can be lowered, urban living environment can be beautified, and natural hydrographic cycle balance can be maintained.

The invention discloses a rainwater garden circulating system. The rainwater garden circulating system comprises a purified water storage chamber, a rainwater garden system and a central water pool system, wherein rainwater sequentially passes through aquatic plants and a planting soil layer to primarily filter large-particle impurities in the rainwater, then the rainwater flows into a gravel drainage layer for further secondary filtration, flows into a purification filter layer for deeply and automatically adsorbing and purifying the rainwater, and flows into a purified water storage chamber through solid waste permeable concrete, meanwhile, the rainwater is subjected to primary filtration through surface plants and solid waste water permeable bricks, then is subjected to secondary adsorption purification through a nutrient soil layer and a purification filter layer, and flows into the purified water storage chamber through a solid waste concrete layer, a water collecting device is arranged in the purified water storage chamber and is connected to a plant irrigation spray head to guide water to plants on the earth surface. According to the rainwater garden circulating system, garbage sundries, organic pollutants and heavy metals in rainwater runoff can be effectively adsorbed and filtered, and a better effect on pollution reduction and rainwater runoff control of a sponge city is achieved.

An apparatus for finely pulverizing lawn debris has a central drive shaft driven by a gasoline or electrical power source. Lawn debris is drawn into a suction and grinding chamber by the rotation of a distribution plate which has a plurality of curved impeller blades permanently attached to a perforated plate. A grinding blade with a plurality of blade elements is mounted on the central drive shaft above the distribution plate and effects pulverization of the debris. The distributing plate apertures dispense the pulverized debris uniformly over a lawn. Optionally, additional fan impeller blades may be mounted on the central drive shaft to draw and initiate pulverization of the debris. In this case, the rotation of the distributing plate may be stopped by disengaging a clutch mounted on the central shaft to direct pulverized debris to a side collection chamber, which is periodically emptied through a bottom discharge gate.
