Claim 0:
1. An aeroponic growing system, comprising:
a grow area and a second area distant from the grow area;
an aeroponic growing apparatus located in the grow area;
a second apparatus located in the second area;
an articulated wall having a first face and a second face, the articulated wall comprising a plurality of panels interconnected through joints, wherein the joints comprise a flexible joint adapted to selectively engage two of the panels of the articulated wall with each other such that the articulated wall selectively defines a closed carousel, and to selectively disengage the two panels from one another such as having the articulated wall forming an articulated open wall extending between a first extremity and a second extremity, the articulated open wall being moveable between the grow area and the second area,
the articulated wall holding a plurality of plant-growing containers adapted for growth of plants with a root section growing generally toward the second face and a stem section of the plants growing generally about the first face, wherein the articulated wall and the joints prevent water to travel between the two faces of the articulated wall; and
a motorized railing system connecting the aeroponic growing apparatus and the second apparatus,
the motorized railing system comprising a direction switching assembly, wherein the direction switching assembly comprises an inverting station located in the second area and consisting of a closed loop railing that receives the open articulated wall, the motorized railing system being adapted for:
a) selectively moving the articulated wall between the grow area and the second area, and via the direction switching assembly:
b) inverting orientation of the articulated wall in the grow area between
i) a frontward configuration wherein the articulated wall forms a first room in which the first face of the articulated wall is facing inward, and
ii) a rearward configuration wherein the articulated wall forms a second room in which the second face of the articulated wall is facing inward, wherein the stem section of the plants are arranged towards a first growth condition when the articulated wall is in the frontward configuration and a second growth condition when the articulated wall is in the rearward configuration.
