Soil with cork granulate for gardening

Technical field

The technical solution concerns soil with cork granulate for horticulture, ie mixtures of the character of substrate suitable for growing all kinds of plants and flowers, especially for hobby use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Common soil used for horticulture and agriculture requires watering, loosening, possibly supplementing nutrients etc. In the case of watering, it is necessary to ensure that the amount of water corresponds to the nature and requirements of the plants. Large amounts of water produce fungi on plants, small amounts of water cause drying up of plants and crops. When using a conventional vegetable, it is also necessary, especially in autumn, to ensure timely harvesting or wintering of plants or agricultural products. Common soil then loses moisture relatively quickly in summer and, in winter, contains more than necessary and thus frees up more quickly. Normal soil requires frequent loosening and is particularly stifled especially after winter.

The essence of the technical solution

Deficiencies of common known soils (clay) are remedied to a large extent by cork granulate soils according to the technical solution. The essence of the invention is that the soil consists of 20 to 55% by weight of the cork granulate of 0.5 to 3.5 mm and 45 to 80% by weight of the soil.

Advantages of the soil according to the technical solution are:

- higher internal temperature of soil (clay) on average by 4 ° C higher than temperature of any other soil, this means that plants will survive the winter even in conditions in which they would not survive the winter due to their root system it will not freeze or be exposed to a low temperature for a shorter time;

- the possibility of later winterizing the bulbs, in case of sudden frosts the risk of death or damage to the bulbs is reduced if they are not winterized;

- in winter, the soil mixture has a lower moisture content than conventional soil, which is more favorable for plant survival in winter;

- in the summer, the soil mix acts as a heat insulator and retains the moisture it slowly releases into the soil;

- planted plants in the soil are less vulnerable to drying out;

- due to the cork content, it also does not need to be maintained and loosened. The cork aerates the clay just as earthworms, loosens and aerates the clay itself solely on the basis of changing moisture, which makes the cork larger and smaller. In addition, this process also takes place in winter when classical clay is dampened by frost and snow.

Examples

Example 1

Compound soil suitable for universal use is composed of 40% by weight of cork granulate 0.5 to 3.5 mm and 60% by weight of soil (clay). This mixture is sufficiently aerated, maintaining good humidity and a temperature about 4 degrees higher than the soil without cork granulate.

Example 2

Compound soil suitable especially for plants requiring a denser soil is composed of 20% by weight of cork granulate of 0.5 to 3.5 mm and 80% by weight of soil (clay). This mixture is

It is less aerated, is more humid and its temperature will fall faster than the mixed earth temperature described in Example 1.

Example 3

The mixed soil suitable especially for plants requiring a sandy, aerated soil type is composed of 55% by weight of a cork granulate of 0.5 mm and 45% by weight of soil (clay). This mixture is very aerated, it is drier. The temperature of this mixture does not increase too much compared to the temperature of the mixture described in Example 1, but will decrease more slowly.
