They are frusto-pyramidal and frustoconical Plant pots known. It is also proposed to make plant pots from grown peat.

Particularly in forestry it is suggested to grow plants from grown white peat to use manufactured nursery pots. It has been shown that white peat in its original, not torn, i.e. organically grown form has the advantage over ground white peat that it can bind larger amounts of water, hold these amounts for a long time and slowly transfer them to the plants can deliver. White peat in larger chunks does not decompose as easily as peat dust.

However, it has been shown in practice that such plant pots do not all, especially difficult Afforestation conditions as a result of extreme soil conditions, for example without sufficient topsoil, can meet the demands to be made on them. A disadvantage is that the water supply such a peat plant pot especially in difficult growing conditions for the young Planting is insufficient. Another disadvantage is that the well-known peat plant pot with Earth must be filled, resulting in increased material and labor costs. There is also a disadvantage the known pots in that they as a result of the hole arrangement in particular after watering They are easily damaged and disintegrated as they soften.

The invention is based on the object of creating a plant body which has the disadvantages of the known Does not have peat plant pots.

The invention consists in that the plant body consists of a grown, cut white peat and in prismatic, wedge, pyramid or cube shape with a smooth surface, the before being introduced into the earth in a manner known per se for a long time and on which the seedling is put on.

This ensures that the plant with its roots can easily penetrate the plant body, because, in contrast to the well-known plant pots, the roots are at an angle to the surface of the plant body meet and thus not initially bent in an unnatural way and growing further in the natural Direction hindered and thus adversely affected. At the same time, the roots can follow Insertion of the plant body penetrate into the surrounding soil and expand in all directions, whereby a good fastening and thus holding the planting material is achieved in its position will. The latter is provided with the known plant pots with a flat base

and tapering towards the top

not possible at all. Here, the roots must first grow through the plant pot completely in order to get into to get to the ground. It is also favorable that the planting bodies are first presented in a manner known per se the plants should be watered for a long time until they are completely saturated.

The invention can be carried out in various ways. There are several versions in the drawing for example illustrated and described below.

Fig. 1 shows a wedge-shaped, made from grown and possibly pressed peat Plant body 10, which is inserted into a hole in the ground, the cultivated plant 11 on the ridge 12 of the plant wedge is put on. The roots will then penetrate the plant body 10 as they grow. It is necessary to water the peat body for so long before transplanting, if necessary in a fertilizer solution to lay until the peat body 10 is completely permeated by the liquid. For example, you put the Plant body in a soaking liquid the evening before use. Usually six to eight hours are sufficient but possibly also up to two to three days are necessary to achieve that the Plant body serves as a water reservoir.

The soaking liquid can also contain nutrient additives.

It is advantageous to make the planting hole so deep that the planting body after the transplantation has taken place is completely covered by earth, for example one centimeter below the earth's surface. Through this rapid evaporation of the moisture is prevented.

In Fig. 2, for example, is a pyramid-shaped body cut from grown white peat 10 α shown. Here, too, the cultivated plant 11 is placed on the top of the pyramid. This can be dulled be.

In Fig. 3 it is shown that two peat wedges 10 b, 10 c can be used in conjunction with one another for special conditions.

An advantage of the plant body according to the invention compared to the known peat plant pots also consists in the fact that the planting hole is not so in the former needs to be large as with the latter, since the peat plant pot is much larger with the same weight Dimensions.

It is possible to put a large number of plant bodies next to each other in packing material.

The plant bodies are preferably cut from white peat sod dried in the usual way or sawn. You can press the sod or the planting body.

Claims (1)

PATENT CLAIM: Planting body provided with a flat base and tapering upwards, characterized in that it consists of a grown, cut white peat and is designed in prismatic, wedge, pyramid or cube shape with a smooth surface, which is in itself before being introduced into the earth is known to be watered for a long time and on which the settlement is based.
