Growing container with new utility properties

Technical field

The technical solution concerns a growing container with new utility properties 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. These disadvantages were overcome by the cultivation container according to utility model CZ 29251, which however had not solved the access of air to the root system and mutual fixation of the support rods for attaching plants. It also did not resolve any removable roofing, in case of torrential rain or hail. The problem of possible attachment of insect repellent and bird scarer was not solved.

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 deficiencies are eliminated by a growing container consisting of segments folded into a regular polygon, where the individual segments create gaps between them and the inner space of the container between the folded segments is filled with a substrate, underneath the bottom of the biomass. A sand drainage duct extends downwardly above the impermeable sheet and at the top ends just below the substrate level, according to the present invention, the principle being that a plastic container is placed on the impermeable sheet upside down with holes for inserting tubes in the walls. for air intake and openings for the root system to enter the space under the plastic container. The air intake pipes are located in the corners of the growing container, and wires connecting the adjacent pipes to each other are inserted into their open ends at the top. On the above-ground part of the tubes is put a mass for saturation of insect repellent biological substance and possible parasites on cultivated plants. A wire is inserted into the pipe openings from above to fasten the mechanical bird scarer and to create a pyramidal roof structure.

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 is possible

It is possible to achieve a temperature of 40 ° C by means of thermophilic bacteria, which has a positive effect on the acceleration of vegetation growth. Another great advantage of this technical solution is that all the grout water is used only for grout and none leaks into the subsoil. This allows plants to grow on terraces and balconies. 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 unwanted water flow by dragging plastic foil over a pyramidal roof made of wires connected by a clutch at the top. The cultivation container can be easily protected from slugs by creating an unsurpassed strip of ashes around the container for slugs, or placing poisonous baits for slugs. The air intake pipes serve to supply air to the container space to the plant root system and to accelerate the decomposition of organic matter when used in the filling of the container. On the above-ground part of the air inlet pipes, the material impregnated with a biological repellent of potential pests is threaded, which prevents these pests from settling on the cultivated plants. A bent wire is inserted in the top openings of the tubes, which forms a connection between adjacent tubes and at the same time serves to guide the plants horizontally so that the fruits can be reached from the ground without the use of stepladders. A wire holder, interconnected at the top with each other, is also inserted in the tubes to fasten mechanical bird scarers. This bracket also serves to create a pyramidal roof in bad weather.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an overall view of the container; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the container; and FIG. 3 is a cross-section A-A showing a view of the individual segments of the container.

Examples of technical solutions

The cultivation container consists of segments 1 folded on a solid substrate 10, into a regular polygon, with the individual segments 1 forming gaps between them. The JUMBO 800 composter, commercially available, is entirely suitable for this purpose. The interior space between the composite segments 1 is filled with a coarse compost 6, over which the substrate layer 3 is located. Under the coarse compost 6, a hollow with a sand bed 5 is formed from the impermeable foil 4 into the sand bed 5. The air inlet pipes 7 are located in the corners of the growing container, and wires 13 connecting all the pipes 7 to each other are inserted into their open ends at the top. On the above-ground part of the tubes 7 is put a mass 12 for saturation with insect repellent biological substance and possible parasites on the cultivated plants. A wire 14 with a stop is inserted into the openings of the pipes 7 from above, to fasten the mechanical bird scarer, where the individual wires 14, connected in the top connector 16, form a pyramidal apex which also serves to form the pyramidal roof.

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 accelerating vegetation growth. With the simple construction of wire 14 and film coating can be created

-2EN 32519 U1 conditions like in a hotbed, which is especially 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 rupture, it is easy to create protection against unwanted flooding of water by throwing plastic foil over the pyramidal roof. The cultivation container can be easily protected from slugs by creating an unsurpassed strip of ashes around the container for slugs, or by placing poisonous baits around the slugs. The air inlet pipes 7 serve both to supply air to the container space to the plant root system and to accelerate the decomposition of organic matter when used in filling the container and, secondly, to fix the vertical portion of tomato stems. On the above-ground part of the air inlet pipes 7, a mass 12, which is a foam, impregnated with a biological repellent of potential pests, is threaded, which prevents these pests from settling on the cultivated plants. In the upper openings of the tubes 7, a bent connecting wire 13 is inserted which forms a connection between the tubes and at the same time serves to guide the plants horizontally so that the fruits can be reached from the ground without the use of a stepladder. Also included in the tubes 7 is a holder made of wire 14 for securing the mechanical scarers, which, after all the wires 14 in the top connector 16 have been connected, serve as a pyramidal roof for covering the protective film in bad weather.

Procedure for assembling the growing container.

-3 CZ 32519 Ul

A suitable place should be selected, which should have a flat and firm base 10. An impermeable foil can be placed under the growing container, which is suitable on terraces and balconies. Two rows of segments 1 are assembled. The biomass 9, which is plant debris, shredded branches, cut grass, weeds, etc., is inserted into the space to form a depression in the middle. A sand bed 5 is placed on a recess formed with an impermeable foil 4 which extends to the wall of the container. A plastic container 15 with openings for the air inlet and for insertion of the tubes 7 is placed in the center and fastened in each corner of the container. . A 10 cm diameter novodur tube 11 is placed on the plastic container 15, gradually filled with sand and the coarse compost 6 is filled, onto which a layer of 20 cm of substrate 3 is deposited on top of the substrate 3 11 filled with sand. Simultaneously with the filling of the coarse compost 6, the substrate 3 is also filled at the sides of the container. During filling, both the substrate 3 and the coarse compost 6 are adequately steered. After reaching the required height, the entire surface of the substrate 3 is poured with water, which is also poured into the neural tube 11. After the water has soaked in, the tube 11 is pulled up outside the container. In the middle of the substrate 3 and of the coarse compost 6, a sand drainage 8 is formed for penetrating the potting water into the sand bed 5. 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 down 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 7, further plants, such as still-producing strawberries, cucumbers and other plants that do not need to be planted deep, are planted in the substrate 3.

The plants at the top of the container have an air supply tube 7 as a support. The individual tubes 7 projecting above the container are connected by a connecting wire 13, which is inserted into the tubes 7 by a bent end and thus always connects the adjacent tubes 7. Plants planted in the gaps 2 between the segments 1 may stretch on strings, up the container wall then go back down again. 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 skeleton of the growing 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.
