Abstract
Jewelry for planting crops contains a post used to fashion the jewelry to a body part, markings adoring the jewelry at defined distances that specify how to plant crops, and a support material for holding the markings. Spacings within the jewelry define where to add water and fertilizer to soil and where to plant seeds.
Claims19
An article of manufacture fashioned as jewelry for planting crops, wherein said jewelry is an earring, comprising:
- (a) a post, used to fasten the jewelry to a body part;
- (b) a marking adorning the jewelry at defined distances that specifies how to plant a crop, wherein the marking is selected from the group consisting of a jewel, a seashell, and a bead;
- and
- (c) a support material for holding the marking, wherein the support material is a dangle,
- wherein the dangle connects the post to the marking, and
- wherein a length of the dangle instructs a depth (d) of planting a seed in soil.
An article of manufacture fashioned as jewelry for planting crops, wherein said jewelry is a bracelet, comprising:
- (a) a post, used to fasten the jewelry to a body part;
- (b) a marking adorning the jewelry at defined distances that specifies how to plant a crop, wherein the marking is selected from the group consisting of a jewel, a seashell, and a bead;
- and
- (c) a support material for holding the marking, wherein the support material is a circular band,
- wherein an outer circumference is formed by drawing a circle connecting the marking protruding from the outside of the circular band, and
- wherein an inner circumference is formed by drawing a circle connecting the marking protruding from the inside of the circular band, and
- wherein a distance between the center of the circle and the outer circumference defines a spacing between seeds in a row called an intrarow planting parameter (o).
An article of manufacture fashioned as jewelry for planting crops, wherein said jewelry is a bangle, comprising:
- (a) a post, used to fasten the jewelry to a body part;
- (b) a marking adorning the jewelry at defined distances that specifies how to plant a crop, wherein the marking is selected from the group consisting of ink, fabric, and dye;
- and
- (c) a support material for holding the marking, wherein the support material is a circular band, which has a thickness,
- wherein the circular band has an outer circumference and an inner circumference, and
- wherein a distance between the center of the circle and the outer circumference defines a spacing between seeds in a row called a intrarow planting parameter (o).
An article of manufacture fashioned as jewelry for planting crops, wherein said jewelry is a lariat necklace, comprising:
- (a) a post, used to fasten the jewelry to a body part;
- (b) a marking adorning the jewelry at defined distances that specifies how to plant a crop, wherein the marking is selected from the group consisting of a jewel, a seashell, and a bead;
- and
- (c) a support material for holding the marking, wherein the support material is a chain, which has two free ends when unclasped,
- wherein a shortest distance separating adjacent markings on the chain is the intrarow planting parameter (o), and
- wherein when the lariat necklace is unclasped, a distance between the marking furthest from the post and the end of the chain defines the depth (d) at which a seed should be planted, and
- wherein a distance between the post and a first marking called the water fertilizer parameter (wf) defines a radius (r) with a circumference (C), and
- wherein the circumference defines where to add water and fertilizer to the soil.
An article of manufacture fashioned as jewelry for planting crops, wherein said jewelry is a lariat necklace, comprising:
- (a) a post, used to fasten the jewelry to a body part;
- (b) a marking adorning the jewelry at defined distances that specifies how to plant a crop, wherein the marking is selected from the group consisting of a jewel, a seashell, and a bead;
- and
- (c) a support material called a chain, which has two free ends when unclasped,
- wherein a shortest distance separating adjacent markings on the chain is the intrarow planting parameter (o), and
- wherein when the lariat necklace is unclasped, a distance between the marking furthest from the post and the end of the chain defines the depth (d) at which a slip should be planted.
