In addition to these, the methods related with vegetable growing from seed are the subject of the findings below:

"Seed band including successively ordered germination units" Application numbered 2007/04881. The band described with this finding includes the successively ordered germination units and at least one carrier belt and it can be biologically separated on the subject belt. It has at least one subsidiary plate made up of flexible, non- woven or film-like material. Seed band of subject subsidiary plate is cut at a short distance through seed band. The seed band could be cut as separate germination units. "Seed belt" Application numbered 2007/02325. This innovation defines a seed belt including soil detected on a carrier belt made up of a flat material and adhesive or at least one biodegradable layer or successive germination units vertically embedded to a growing layer and at least one additive in addition to one or a couple of seed, an optional filling material, adjacent agents and a carrier mixture, additive or additives, water absorbers such as excessive absorbing polymers.

"Seed germination cup carriage apparatus" Application numbered 2004/00568. This innovation is related with the seed germination cap that is used to create a suitable

environment for the seeds until the seeds are germinated and become seedlings and the carrier apparatus used to carry this cup.

Different from the methods and applications listed above, with the innovation named "Papers Including Cultivable Plant/Flower Seed and Production Method", it is aimed to use waste papers as main materials without using any special machine or apparatus during production phase and by embedding all kinds of plant seed into the paper, produce environment- friendly seed cards ready for cultivation. The materials used for the production of seed cards are composed of completely recyclable waste paper and paper products and the seed card obtained at the end of production process is a product 100% degradable and not including any harmful chemical. The vegetables seeds it includes can be planted with the known seed planting methods and used for vegetable production with watering.

The compounds above don't have limiting feature. For example, the best practical solution for water is city water and rain waters, refined waters, valley-river waters, lake waters or fresh waters can be also evaluated within production process. Here the scale is that the water to be used should not carry a risk in means of health. All kinds of old and new papers, waste papers, used or papers retreated for recycling after being used, cartoon, paperboard, paper towels, cottons, cotton papers, dough papers can be also added to production process. Instead of kaolin which is stated as filling material, porcelain clay, powders, calcite, chemical fillings, clays, clay-originated and clay-like materials can be used. The materials used as colorants can be all kinds of dyes (powder and liquid dyes, paper, cloth, food, textile dyes, acrylic dyes, water-based paints, pigment dyes, plastic and oily dyes, all kinds of natural and artificial colorants) but it has been imported within this project to use products that don't include materials harmful to human health and non-polluting the environment (food and cloth dyes, water-based paints). Natural and artificial salts, vinegars and lemon are used for fixing the colors. Natural products are preferred as adhesives and all kinds of starches (corn, wheat, potato) are being used but tree and wood adhesives, paper adhesives or binding/combining materials can be also used. In order to keep wet paper dough ready for a while without being decayed, formaldehyde is used as dough protector. As addition and ornament materials, dry tree and/or dry tree leaves, dry vegetable and dry vegetable leaves, all kinds of leaves and yarns, natural products, colorful paper dough enabling grizzled look are used. The seeds to be embedded inside the dough can be vegetable, flower, tree seeds, aromatic seeds, vegetable- fruit seeds. There is no limit on the print techniques to be applied on seed cards. Serigraphic offset, offset, letterpress, all kind of ink presses, laser press, light press, glossy press, cellophane press, plastering press, mat/bright presses that can be applied on any paper type or cotton or cotton-mixed product can be comfortably applied on seed cards. The ordinary equipment used in daily life for the production of seed cards can be enough but these can be replaced with more professional equipment depending on the increase of production capacity.

Mold and mold frames Wood, metal and cast molds and frames

Sieves and Filters Metal, plastic or fiber wired sieves and filters

Sponges All kinds of sponges that can absorb the water in the sieve

Clothes Water and humid taking drying clothes and towels

Water flowing shells Inclined shells flowing water, flat or

channeled buckles, water absorbing machines

Drier yarns Yarns used for hanging drying as seed cards, clothes

Humid absorbing devices Auxiliary humid taking devices removing and drying the humidity in the environment

Presses Compressing wood and metal presses to

decrease the water of wet papers and flatten the dried papers

Sandpaper and sandpaper machines Materials to remove the roughness of final product

Reserve caps They enable the seed cards to be stored

without being harmed.

The equipment composing the content and used during production process of artificial/natural materials are used for seed card production with the application of method below:

• Papers are waited inside the water for 1 day (paper/water ratio: 1/20). (If the

production will take place in the same day, hot water is used). This mixture is mixed for 20 and 25 minutes with mixer and made dough.

• As filling material (in order to remove the roughness of the surface) 10% or 20%

Kaolin is added to the mixture. The material keeping the writing during offset or writing is Kaolin.

• If colorant will be used, dye material is used and salt + vinegar is added as color fixer (vinegar is not added to yellow and red colors) and the mixture is left to cool.

In order to combine and keep the fibers together, Starch at the ratio between 4% and 10% is added to the mixture by mixing with water and boiling in a cup on fire. t

• Later, the preferred seeds are added to this mixture.

• Before making the paper fibers layers with sieves, water is added according to the paper thickness and it is mixed (water adding ratios are presented in the table below).

• Depending on the thickness determined for seed card (while the paper layer gets

thinner, the dough amount is increased), dough addition is made. The water/paper ratios used here are presented at the tables below.

• Dough layers are obtained by sieving the water of paper fibers and the mixture at different dimensions, rectangular, square, circular, triangle or at certain scales sieves (35 cm x 25 cm- or 50cm. x 35 cm. -or 70 cm. x 50 cm. - or 100 cm. x 70 cm or bigger or small scale sieves.

• If the dough or extra dough obtained is not going to be consumed that day,

formaldehyde is added to the mixture in order to prevent decomposition.

• The mixture is subjected to drying. 2 alternative methods are applied here:

1) Drying at sieve: The mixture taken to pools through sieves is left to drying on sieves. The water stayed on the sieve is sieved by putting buckle or shelf material.

2) Drying between clothes:

The mixture taken from the pool through a sieve is waited on the sieves in order to be re- sieved. The sieved mixture is transferred to a second sieve wire as layer and a one more layer of sieve wire and cloth is put on it and it is closed from the bottom and up and the remaining water on the layer is taken. Later, compressing/flattening process is applied on the layer/layers between clothes with the wood and metal presses or rollers. For this process, a weight is put on the dough and it can be compressed. This process is done again on the other dry clothes. The paper layer out of press is dried and the roughness is removed with sandpaper.

• The remaining water of dough layer is taken through sponge on and beneath of sieves on the both alternatives. In order to provide a complete dryness, humidity devices that take the humid of environment can be used when necessary and later seed cards are hang on the wire and dried.

All press techniques (serigraphic offset, letterpress, and laser press, light press, glossy press, cellophane press, plastering press, mat/bright presses, all kinds of presses used in printing can be easily used.

Seed cards include different ratios according to paper gram. These ratios are presented in tables below:
