Description

Growing container

Technical field

The technical solution concerns a container for growing vegetables and flowers with a high yield potential.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

So far, vegetables and flowers have been grown in pots, where plants are planted in the horticultural soil that has been poured in the pot. The cultivation area thus formed only the area of the open container. In addition, these vessels often had to be watered, even on hot days, several times a day. If the pot or pot had a water supply, it had to be separated from the soil. This reduced the space for the nutritional capacity of such a container. For larger numbers of pots, the pots or pots had to be more in one place, occupying a considerable area. Because of their shallow depth, the support rods needed for higher plants or climbing plants were difficult to fit into these containers and pots. There was therefore a problem with growing tomatoes and cucumbers in these containers. If the plant exceeded a certain limit, it was easily inverted, especially in the wind.

Thus, the inventor had to develop a cultivation container which does not have these disadvantages and is available to anyone who needs to achieve large crop yields in a relatively small area, with minimal labor and minimal purchase costs.

The essence of the technical solution

These drawbacks are overcome by the growing container according to the present invention, which consists of segments folded into a regular polygon, where the individual segments form gaps between them and the inner space of the container between the folded segments is filled with a substrate. Below it is a sand bed recess above the bottom of the biomass made of an impermeable foil. Sand drainage runs through the center of the container, terminating at the bottom above the impermeable sheet and at the top terminating just below the substrate level.

The cultivation container according to this technical solution achieves the yield of cultivation beds with an area of at least 4 to 5 m ² . In addition, this cultivation container needs almost no skin work. Watering is done once a week, on hot days once in two days. Because its cultivation area is above the ground and can be built up to an achievable height, its cultivation production is easily visible and the operator does not have to bend. Another indisputable advantage is that the container can be planted with different plants. It is possible to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, still fruiting strawberries, or even vegetable leaves on a minimal area. The rapid maturation of the coarse compost mass inside the container is made possible by the constant humidity of this material and the ingress of air, which makes it possible to reach a temperature of 40 ° C by means of thermophilic bacteria, which has a beneficial effect on acceleration of vegetation growth. By using a simple wire construction and foil coating, it is possible to create hotbed conditions, which is particularly important in the spring season when growing vegetables. Instead of the foil, the container can be easily coated with a net against various pests, in particular against whites. In case of prolonged rain and cloud-burst, it is easy to create protection against undesirable water flow. The cultivation container can be easily protected from slugs by creating a band that is unsurpassable for slugs or poisonous traps for slugs.

Examples of technical solutions

The cultivation container consists of segments 1 folded on a solid substrate 10, into a regular polygon, where the individual segments 1 also form gaps between them. The inner space between the folded segments 1 is filled with a coarser compost 6 above which the substrate layer 3 is below. The sand bed 5 is led through the center of the container by sand drainage 8. Under the impermeable foil is biomass 9. Around the coarse compost 6, at the walls of the container the space is filled with fine compost 7. In case of lack of coarse compost 6, the entire space above the sand bed 5 is filled with substrate 3.

Procedure for assembling the cultivation container

A choice is made of a suitable place, which should have a flat and firm base 10. Two rows of segments 1 are assembled. Biomass 9, which is plant residues, shredded branches, cut grass, weeds, etc., is inserted into the space. in the middle she created a recess. A sand bed 5 is placed on the recess provided with an impermeable foil 4, which does not lead to the container wall, and a 10 cm diameter new-tube pipe is placed in the center, filled with sand and the coarse compost 6 is filled. 20 cm of the substrate 3, whereby a depression is formed on the surface of the substrate 3 towards the neon tube filled with sand. Simultaneously with the filling of the coarse compost 6, fine compost 7 is fed on the sides of the container. The entire surface of the substrate 3 is spilled with water, which is also poured into the neon tube 11. After water has soaked, the tube 11 is pulled up. In the middle of the substrate 3 and the coarse compost 6, a sand drainage 8 is thus formed. Plants are planted in the cultivation container thus prepared. After planting the plants, watering is again carried out by pouring water onto the surface of the substrate 3. The water flows downwards and accumulates in the sand bed 5 on the impermeable foil 4 and from there gradually rises through the coarse compost 6 to the entire substrate 3. In the gaps 2 between the segments 1, further plants, such as still-growing strawberries, cucumbers and other plants, which do not need to be planted deep, are planted in the fine compost 7.

The plants at the top of the container have a 8 mm diameter roxor steel wire as a support, which is inserted into the substrate slightly oblique to the center of the container. The individual protruding wires above the container can be joined by a string to form a dense support net. Plants planted in the gaps 2 between the individual segments 1 may stretch up the container wall and then return downwards. The gaps 2 are suitable, for example, for still-fruiting strawberries, which have other gaps 2 close to them, for attaching the branches of strawberries. In full vegetation the cultivation container is not visible at all because it is overgrown with lush vegetation. Substrate replacement in the container can only be carried out after several years of cultivation. The coarser compost 6 and the biomass 9 can then be used as a growing substrate 3. After the coarse compost 6 has been replaced by the entire substrate 3, the top layer of the substrate 3 is replaced with the bottom layer of the substrate 3 and the composted biomass 9 is added.

Industrial applicability

The growing container according to this invention can be used for most plants grown in the growing substrate. High productivity in growing vegetables and other plants can thus be achieved at any convenient location where there is sunlight access and which has a solid support base. At the same time, the cultivation container, at the bottom, is used to compost all plant residues, including perennial weeds, such as wheat.
