Description

CULTURE APPARATUS

The present invention relates to the cultivation of plants and fungi, more particularly, to a cultivation apparatus for plants and fungi.

In agriculture, the cultivation of plants such as vegetables and mushrooms is sensitive to weather conditions and the environment. Crops can be reduced or polluted due to weather or environmental problems. To overcome these problems, wire shelters and greenhouses are built to isolate plants or fungi from external environments.

Wire shelters and greenhouses are useful for producing isolated farms. However, the use of wire shelters or greenhouses is not without its problems.

First, buildings are not allowed on certain farmland or cultivable land. In such a case, a wire mesh shelter or greenhouse cannot be built.

Second, a wire mesh shelter or greenhouse is structurally weak and therefore cannot withstand strong wind during extreme weather conditions.

Third, the location of a screen shelter or greenhouse is fixed and therefore the screen shelter or greenhouse cannot be moved from one location to another to avoid pollution or natural disasters such as floods.

Fourth, a wire shelter or greenhouse can be moved from one place to another only after being dismantled. Therefore, the wire shelter or greenhouse cannot be used to grow plants or mushrooms during transport.

Fifth, a wire shelter or greenhouse can only be used to grow seasonal types of plants or mushrooms due to seasonal changes in weather and radiation. Thus, a wire shelter or greenhouse cannot be used to grow out-of-season types of plants or fungi. Therefore, overproduction or underproduction is inevitable.
