Abstract:

A flax based fence and manufacturing apparatus for reducing slope erosion and water runoff. The flax based fence and manufacturing apparatus includes a tubular casing filled with a specified density of flax fiber and flax stems forming an elongate and flexible structure. The density and porosity of the elongate structure is determined by the amount and length of flax fiber, flax stems and overall density of the same as positioned within the tubular casing. A receiving tube having a receiver opening receives the desired combination of flax fiber and flax straw which is forced through the receiving tube via an auger into the tubular casing. A plurality of gripping members provide a desired degree of frictional engagement of the tubular casing positioned about the receiving tube thereby allowing adjustment of the overall density of the elongate structure.

Abstract:

A hanging plant basket liner system for improving water retention thereby requiring less frequent watering. The hanging plant basket liner system includes a liner member comprised of a flax straw material positioned within a support frame for receiving a plant and potting soil. The liner member is preferably formed into a concave shape. The liner member is comprised of a volume of flax straw and a volume of poly fiber. The poly fiber is melted within the flax straw thereby connecting the flax straw together.
