upper wall made of a plastic material such as recycled plastic. whisenant invention In the upper wall one or more openings for plant growth are placed along the side of the upper wall adjacent to the transverse wall.; There is a single drain hole on the whisenant of the device disclosed in the patent of one of the transverse walls to allow excess water to flow out of the (Jed) least in area © drain area thus preventing the water level from rising in the drain area higher than the drainage hole. This ensures that the top of the drainage area is filled with air and that the growing medium above the permeable baffle is in contact with air; This air is important for the proper growth of plants. One column or columns of whisenant medium also use the method mentioned in the growth patent extending in the drainage area at the bottom of the assembly. The column is filled with Growth Medium - 0 to allow water in the drain zone to reach from the bottom of the drain zone to the center of the permeable bulkhead. during use; The water moves up in a column of Jef growth medium to the growth medium volume by capillary effect. in addition to; In the method, a column of growth medium is placed so that it is adjacent to a whisenant that has been disclosed in a patent as a whisenant of the plant opening in the upper wall. ui patent for cross wall revealed 1 Growing media posts are best placed in the corner of the tank container but can be placed anywhere under the cross wall along which the plants are placed. In a patent the tank-shaped container and its discharge volume area are divided into two compartments whisenant invention by rectangular partitions that can be interconnected to each other. The purpose of commas is ay

Ensuring that the horizontal barrier in the tank-shaped container is placed so that it is parallel to the bottom wall and at a certain height above it, thus forming a volume for water drainage. z Whisenant's patented method utilizes a graded concept of growth medium and nutrients 0 concept adopted

It was developed in the 1960s as a food component of the production system in a field completely covered with a layer of

0 mulch (a layer of mulch or hay). The main components are a soluble source of nitrogen (N) | and potassium (K) on the surface of the soil layer in combination with a continuous water sheet. KN moves diffusely to the root and simultaneously equilibrates with nutrients that are less soluble in the soil to maintain over the expected term the reduction of ionic concentrations as ion concomitant decreases in the ratio of 17 and 1 to total dons in solution in the soil. A full layer of mulch minimizes the effects of 0 evaporation and precipitation as natural forces that can alter the ionic composition of the soil Jalon. 0 The overall concept is planned so that nutrient/water input rates coincide with crop harvesting rates; Thus long-term nutritional stability is provided. Nutrients move in the soil by diffusion which is synchronized with removal or by mass flow movement with water that is not synchronized with removal. Can by canceling the use of 18-6 within the class

z 01 (conventional action) and use NK on the layer (incremental action); Maintaining constant nutritional stability in the solution in the soil.

z When traditional trophic procedures are exposed to changes in soil cycle combinations - eal the trophic stability in the soil can be weakened or destroyed - when (JE) to more intensive production systems; Conventional dietary procedures often do not maintain the nutritional stability required for progression to occur

© Continuous Productivity; While the step-by-step procedure enhances that stability. yyy

That - tomato yields in experimental fields using a stepwise procedure ranged between VO and 86 ton/ha for nine consecutive cropping cycles (18-478) compared to a commercial average of 1 ton/ha equivalent (not covered with mulch). On the transition to the full algal caste system during the 1970s average commercial yields more than doubled. With the transition to the whole layer 0 procedure of the thalamus, recommendations to enhance the gradation were often mitigated by the stepwise procedure; Because the change in the prevailing procedures was not accepted easily and was often fought with great force because it weakens the previous investment. The full efficacy of scaling cannot generally be obtained using an alternative procedure that impairs or damages the integrity of the concept. For a further evaluation of the effectiveness of the scaling concept; An accurate surface water source 0 was used in conjunction with a separate surface source for elements 17 and K1 to evaluate the lateral gradient. The tomatoes were grown in containers (wooden boxes) containing a tent of soil ranging from sandy soil to organic peat soil. The maximum yield was about A kg/plant (four plants/box) regardless of soil type. Mass flow of nutrients has been minimized; But when there is no reservoir, differences in humidity compromise nutritional stability. No General Description of the Invention While the whisenant's patented tank-shaped container assembly is useful for the growth of large tomato-sized vegetables, it has been found useful in Aime cases to thermally insulate the growing medium. It has also been found useful to modify or control the water evaporation system. More specifically, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a container assembly in the form of a tank that thermally insulates the growth medium and increases its contact with air. yyy

The growing medium area inside the growing medium basket (?) is separated from the drainage area (8) by the lower wall partition (3) of the basket (1) The basket container (1) can be made of such as recycled plastic and have ( ) and (4 ) and (vo) and (Ve) back and side walls (not shown) as an alternative (not shown) 1 back (Ve) and s(t) walls can be dispensed with The side walls (E) 1 and (11) extend the length of the tank (7). The center of the pall inside the basket (©) is filled with growth medium (V) It acts as the soil in which plants grow (01). The top wall (0) of the tank container (7) can be made of a solid material such as recycled plastic. The tank container (Y) has two end walls (11) and (NY) and two transverse walls YT (11) and LY) In the upper wall (0) there are openings for plants (7) for their growth and

M - Putting the aforementioned plant openings in different places that depend on the type and size of the plants that are grown, as mentioned in more detail later. As shown best in Figure (1); the tank-shaped container shall have one opening (VF) at least in one of the transverse walls (VY) and (VY) to allow excess water oe by flowing out of the drain area (A) thus preventing the build-up of the water level inside the drain area (A) above the hole (17). This ensures that the top of the drain zone (A) will be filled with air and that the growing medium (7) will come into contact with air on the bottom (3) and end walls and/or BEN, (15)” and (101) and (No) for the basket-shaped container. Of course, this air is important for the proper growth of plants. To growth medium (7) 0 The water will move upward in the columns of growth medium (V7) and to growth medium (7) by the effect of capillary action, as best shown in Figures (1) and (7); The central growth columns (1) shall be placed so that they are adjacent to the lower wall of the container in the form of a basket (©) at the positions that are beneficial for the growth of an aged species of plants, as will be mentioned in more detail later. Figure No. (7) generally shows a strip of A mixture of compost (VY) to be applied to the growing medium (“” at the top of the sad center) in the 0-chain bin (9) when using the above step-feeding procedures; a mixture of The compost in a suitable position depends on the type of plant to be grown and on the position of the center columns of the pall with respect to the hole 0 of the plants in the upper wall. a

The placement of the plant hole (1), growing media columns (V1) and compost mixture (VY) on the side of the plant hole causes salt deposition away from the plant root (01). The placement of these elements is important because it ensures that the water passing by The plant (01) has not previously been passed through the compost mixture (17). The i capillary action causes water to flow in the drainage zone (A) above the (V1) sail media and through the volume 1 of the growing medium to Plant openings (1) and (1) and so there are flow paths coming from the growth columns (01) one to (1) and the other to (6).

With the emphasis on (1) the prevalence table, nutrition as a science is moving beyond the trial-and-error procedure and providing a gradual stability. Because of potential water limitations (eg in Florida) drip irrigation has become the procedure that With it, which increases the cost and requires intensive management in order to regularly approach a productivity equal to the efficiency of om in irrigation water (KN) gradient in subsurface irrigation systems. It also modifies fertilization in irrigation water as a recommended component; The source of mass flow is the concept of gradient.
