Central processing horticulture

A horticulture method for growing plants, the method comprising the steps of:

• positioning the plants in a plurality of containers supported by a conveyor, said conveyor having a path defined by a set of conveyor rails;
• laying said conveyor rails to pass into a radiation space above a roof of a building and into a processing space on an exterior side of the building, wherein a length of a first section of the conveyor in the radiation space is relatively longer than a length of a second section of the conveyor in the processing space, the first section of the conveyor is separate from the second section of the conveyor, a part of the first section of the conveyor extends horizontally along the roof of the building, and a part of the second section of the conveyor extends vertically along the exterior side of the building;
• providing water pipelines and a dispenser in the processing space and not in the radiation space, the dispenser being positioned below the roof of the building;
• shielding the dispenser in the processing space from growth radiation present the radiation space;
• and
• moving, by the conveyor, the plants between the radiation space and the processing space during the plants' lives, wherein moving the plants by the conveyor includes:
• positioning the plants along the first section of the conveyor in the radiation space during first portions of the plants' lives, the first portions of the plants' lives being relatively longer than second portions of the plants' lives in which the plants are not in the radiation space;
• moving, by the conveyor, the plants along the second section of the conveyor in the processing space, wherein the dispenser administers water to one container after another to administer a controlled quantity of water to the plants when in the processing space;
• and
• returning the plants from the second section of the conveyor in the processing space and back to the first section of the conveyor in the radiation space one container after another.
