MegaPod
A protective enclosure(10) for one or more seeds(15) comprises of an outer
shell(11), said shell being permanently or temporarily liquid-impermeable
in at least one direction, and a hygroscopic material(14) contained within
the shell surrounding at least one seed, said material being capable of
absorbing and storing liquid. The protective enclosure provides a self-contained
environment for protecting the seeds in their early growth stages and or
hostile environments
(16/17/18) Thinner sections of the pod shell structure
allow rain water in, being possibly resealed by the effect of water sealant
and/or tension caused by expansion due to hydration, to prevent evaporation.
Internal structure could be a flexible honeycombed one to allow for daylight
thermal dynamic and impact integrity. Could be a nutrient matrix/wick.
