DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SOME EMBODIMENTS - Fig. 1 schematically shows an apparatus 100 for growing plants according to an embodiment. The apparatus 100 comprises a cylindrical body portion 10 arranged to rotate about its longitudinal axis 11. The body part 10 comprises at least two growth bases 12 arranged in the body part 10 longitudinally 13 and in relation to the body part 10 - movably or rotatably, which may mean, for example, that the trays 12 are fixed at their ends to the body part 10 that they remain in substantially the same position by gravity as the body part 10 rotates about its axis 11. Axis 11 may mean a physical axis or an imaginary axis, as shown

1. The rotatable body part 10 allows uniform growing conditions, regardless of the location of the plant in the apparatus 100, as well as the treatment of plants, such as picking berries, for example strawberries, at different heights and at different points in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus 100. - _ the use of the area used is made more efficient. The apparatus 100 further comprises a base 14 AN for supporting the frame part 10, which frame part 10 is arranged on the base 14 N 25 - rotatably, such as bearing 40. The frame part 10 can be rotated by an electric motor whose speed can be adjusted, for example, by a frequency converter. ©.

Ia> The movement of the body 10 of the apparatus 100 and thus of the plants provides all the plants to be grown or cultivated with the same suitable growth conditions, for example o 30 - humidity and temperature variation and brightness, i.e. the crop is completed evenly and faster than in conventional cultivation, whereby time is saved and results are obtained more quickly and the timing of the harvest can be more easily determined at a certain or certain desired times, for example to meet demand.

According to some preferred embodiments, the apparatus 100 may comprise a conveyor 16 arranged or can be arranged longitudinally 13 of the body part 10 and substantially at least the length of said growing media 12. The conveyor 16, such as a belt conveyor, may be a separate ground or floor mounted conveyor 16, or additionally or alternatively a conveyor 16 attached to a stand 14. By arranging the conveyor 16 substantially the entire length of the trays 12, the trays 12 can be easily filled or emptied by moving directly from the conveyor 16 or to the conveyor 16 substantially at the same point in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus 100. With the aid of the apparatus 100, labor costs can be reduced, and with the same labor input, a crop corresponding to a larger area can be obtained from a smaller area compared to conventional open-air farming. Figure 2 schematically shows an apparatus 100 for growing plants according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 is a perspective view of an apparatus 100 substantially similar to that shown in Figure 1. It can be seen from Figure 2 that a plurality of body portions 100 can be placed in succession to achieve a growth system of the desired length. The body parts 10 can be arranged together, so that the whole system can be rotated by one electric motor. It may also be possible to provide separate electric motors in the different frame parts, which can be controlled - by one common electric motor control unit, such as an inverter or a frequency converter, thus ensuring that the different frame parts 10 have the same rotational speed. Different electric motors may also have their own control units. In addition, the longitudinal direction 13 of the apparatus 100 and the body part 10 is indicated by a double-headed arrow in Fig. 2.

In Fig. 3, the body portion 10 comprises locking means 30, such as a locking pin = or latch or similar mechanical locking means, or electromagnetic locking means, for locking the position of the growing medium 12 relative to the body portion 10. The locking means 30 are arranged to lock the position 9 of the growing medium 12 so that the material 35 arranged in the growing medium 12 falls on the conveyor 16. In Fig. 3 the direction of rotation 32 of the body part 10 is arranged clockwise, but = it could alternatively be counterclockwise. When the position of the medium 12 is locked by the locking means 30 and the body part 10 is rotated, the medium 12 - remains substantially in place with respect to the body part 10, but changes its position with respect to the base 14. In this case, at certain points, the culture medium 12 turns to a position

wherein the material arranged in the growing medium 12, such as plant and / or soil, falls from the medium 12. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the locking means 30 are arranged so that the material 35 falls on the conveyor 16, so that it can be easily transported to another location by the conveyor 16. The locking means 30 and the conveyor 16 allow the growing trays 12 to be emptied with a smaller amount of work compared to known solutions.
