Automatic Live Salad Dispenser

The automatic salad dispenser dispenses fresh live greens to a customer’s delight. The Crunchy Greens dispenser allows the customer to either harvest the leaves directly from the unit, or allows them to pull the entire plants with its root off the unit. The plants are always fresh, living, thriving and growing at the retail unit. The roots are devoid of soil or media, or have very less media, for example less than a gram in weight for each plant. In the live plant dispenser disclosed herein, live plants with roots are on a moving belt.  The belt may move vertically or horizontally. In the case that the live plant dispenser is used in a store, when a significant number of the plants are removed and gaps occur, parts of the belt are replaced with new belts full of live plants.  These new live belts of plants may be grown close by locally by the entrepreneur, and then transported to the store to replace the empty sections of the belt.
