Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stands and systems for supporting hydroponically grown plants.
  • the invention has particular but not exclusive application for the commercial display of hydroponically grown herbs and lettuce.
  • the present invention also has domestic application by maintaining the freshness and extending the useable life of hydroponically grown plants.
  • the invention may also be used in the cooking and food preparation areas where hydroponically grown plants are maintained and harvested prior to use.
  • Hydroponically grown plants such as herbs and lettuce are currently laid out on shop and supermarket shelves for retail display purposes.
  • the root system of each plant is either substantially dried out or removed to avoid remaining liquid dripping onto the purchaser after the plant has been selected.
  • the current process of retail display of the hydroponically grown plants has an adverse dehydrating effect on the plants.
  • the dehydrating effect is accelerated by the circulating air currents from refrigeration units and air conditioners. After a relatively short period of time the plants begin to wilt and lose their appeal to the purchaser. Subsequently the retailer throws away the wilted plants and replaces them with fresh plants. As a consequence there is a great deal of wastage of this type of produce in the retail environment.
  • the invention resides in a hydroponic display stand including: a frame; a plurality of interconnected channels mounted on the frame and having a plurality of plant supports spaced along each of the channels; pump means for supplying and pumping maintenance growth medium through the channels; wherein said interconnected channels are mounted substantially parallel either on an inclined surface or in a tiered formation relative to each other.
  • the arrangement of the channels allows the consumer access to the plants for selection and removal while providing the plants with maintenance growth media to maintain a healthy and fresh condition.
  • the channels are preferably tiered at an incline from the base of the frame to the top of the frame.
  • the channels are preferably enclosed channels with the plant supports being peripheral regions about the apertures in the channels.
  • the peripheral regions about the apertures in the channels may vary in diameter depending upon the size of the hydroponic pot which may be fitted.
  • the diameters of the peripheral region may be of greater size to accommodate whole root systems of plants such as lettuces.
  • the plants are placed in the apertures and are maintained by the circulating maintenance growth medium which may include hydroponic nutrient mix.
  • the produce is preferably positioned with large leafy plants like lettuce on one side of a face of the stand while the other side of the face of the stand has smaller plants such as some types of herbs.
  • the channels are preferably tiered at an incline from the base of the frame to the top of the frame.
  • the larger plants such as lettuce can be placed along the lower tier while medium sized herbs are placed in the middle of the tier and smaller sized herbs are placed in the top tiered section.
  • the frame may be any suitable shape and preferably varied to suit a particular position or application.
  • the invention is designed to be free standing or can be incorporated to fit into existing aisle layout for commercial display. Dimensions may be modified to suit any application but maintaining the concept of providing a fresh market garden.
  • the frame has an A frame shape with one or more tiers with a plurality of plant supports on each side.
  • the frame may be an inclined display (one side of an A frame) as a half sided hydroponic stand.
  • the frame may have a tiered conical shape.
  • the pump means preferably includes an electric pump (or other suitable arrangement), a storage tank adapted to hold the maintenance growth media which ' • ⁇ may include hydroponic nutrient mix, and piping connecting the channels with the pump and the tank.
  • the pump preferably recirculates the media from the tank through the channels and back to the tank. More preferably the maintenance growth media is pumped to the top of the tier first and allowed to circulate through the channels and then back into the tank.
  • the tank and pump are preferably separate replaceable modular units.
  • the tank is preferably cleaned and replenished periodically with fresh maintenance growth media which includes new hydroponic nutrient mix and fresh water. Alternatively the used media from the tank is drained and replaced by fresh media.
  • the hydroponics display stand preferably includes cover means that extends as a cover over the plant supports.
  • the cover means preferably includes a canopy that extends outwardly to the extent that it substantially overlies the lowest tier channel.
  • the cover means preferably is positioned to protect the plants from the dehydrating effects of circulating air currents from air conditioners and fans.
  • the cover means preferably includes a canopy or awning that extends outwardly to overlie plants in the display stand.
  • the cover means preferably assists to control the immediate environment of the plants. However in some applications the canopy is not used.
  • the hydroponic display stand preferably includes a light at the top of the stand to enhance presentation of the plants to the consumer and assist in maintaining the healthy condition of the plant.
  • the light is preferably a UV light. Where there is a cover means, the light is preferably located directly below the cover means. In cases where there is not a cover the UV light may be positioned directly facing the plants from varied angles, above or to one side. Alternatively a UV light may not be directly used but any other source of light within the area may service the needs of providing light to the plants.
  • the hydroponics display stand may also include a drip tray locatable below the lowest tier of the other channel to catch excess water that may drip from the plant after it is extracted from the plant holder by the consumer.
  • the plants are preferably visibly presented without sleeves or packaging with only their root system extending from a hydroponic pot or root system directly into the peripheral regions about the apertures in the channels. However the plants may be sleeved with only their root system exposed from the sleeve.
  • the hydroponic display stand may also have advertising means and or information display means that may provide information to a consumer regarding, amongst other things, purchasing and using hydroponic plants.
  • the advertising medium may be placed in a plastic brochure holder that is affixed to the hydroponic stand.
  • Banners and Logos may be visibly displayed either hanging across the A frame in the form of additional screen printed canvas.
  • Trademarks or Logos in the form of stickers may directly be affixed to the canopy and or awning.
  • Screen printing of trademarks or logos may be position on and around the canopy or awning.
  • plastic bag hooks may be affixed to the frame under the main canopy cover to allow easy access to place hydroponic plants in when selected for purchasing by a customer.

  • the retail outlet or owners of the commercial enterprise may own or control the stand and choose to service the stand and replace the maintenance growth media themselves.
  • the supplier may be a local farmer who can provide hydroponically grown plants directly to a retail outlet or commercial enterprise.
  • the supplier may otherwise be a fruit and vegetable wholesaler who deals in hydroponic produce.
  • the maintenance growth media is preferably an approved hydroponic mix.
  • the system is periodically flushed with water, kept cleaned and all surfaces including the covers are wiped over.
  • the invention broadly resides in a hydroponic display stand including one or more troughs, each with a longitudinal upper wall with one or more openings for holding plants; each of said troughs has an inlet located substantially near one end and an outlet substantially near an opposing end; said inlet is connected to a water supply means; and said outlet is connected to an inlet of another trough or a waste disposal means.
