Claim 10:
11. A tray and trellis system of an automated farm, comprising:
at least one vertical post or leg;
at least two longitudinal members including a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member;
at least two cross members including a first cross member and a second cross member;
at least one first comb comprised of multiple tines fixed at one end to the first longitudinal member on one side of the tray and trellis system;
the multiple tines being releasably engaged at their other end to the second longitudinal member on the other side of the tray and trellis system;
at least one second comb comprised of multiple additional tines fixed at one end to the first cross member at one end of the tray and trellis system; and
the multiple additional tines being releasably engaged at their other end to the second cross member at the other end of the tray and trellis system,
wherein each comb is configured to be removable to easily remove plants thereon without harming the plants by:
grasping the first longitudinal member or the first cross member; and
pulling the first longitudinal member or the first cross member horizontally, in a direction away from the releasably engaged ends of the tines and toward the fixed ends of the tines, to disengage the releasably engaged ends of the tines, thereby removing the first longitudinal member or the first cross member and the tines attached thereto as a unit.
