Abstract
A method for enhancing the growth of plants in a growing medium that covers a profile. The method comprises the steps of coupling a blower to a network of pipes in the profile and continuously injecting air under pressure therein. The method may include calculating the pore space in the profile and injecting air under pressure into the network of pipes for at least the predetermined time period necessary to fill the pore space. The method may also include pre-cooling the air before it is injected into the network of pipes.
Claims4
A method for enhancing the growth of plants in a growing medium that covers a profile having a porosity, comprising the steps of:
- coupling means for supplying air under pressure at a predetermined rate into said profile;
- calculating the pore space of said profile;
- calculating the time period necessary to inject air at said predetermined rate sufficient to fill the calculated pore space with air;
- and
- injecting air under pressure into said profile for at least said time period necessary to substantially fill said pore space of said profile with air.
