A United States Patent has been awarded to me for my
New
Trellising System with 'dual layer structural units' for growing farmcrops
with wide-ranging environmental and other benefits, described in detail,
with technical information, in the

Patent Pending in the USA:
(1) New window-door system

New roofing-walling system
also has multiple applications and
