Small crops, such as small trees, small shrubs or other useful plants, are known to grow more slowly than the weeds that emerge around the plant. The consequence of this is that in the course of time the small plant is completely overgrown by weeds. This not only affects the growth of small plant, but also has the disadvantage _t that even the small plant can be cut by mistake in removing the weeds with the help of cutting devices, because it is difficult to see as a crop within the wild weed.

The invention is based on the object of providing a remedy in this regard.

The device for protecting small plants against overgrowth VOS weeds is through a foot or appropriate plate-like plate surrounding the trunk of the small plant.

The plate-like plate is to be beaded at the edge to the bottom, so that the result is a pot-like structure in the opposite sense _s in the area of which the weeds can no longer grow when the plate itself is opaque.

An additional advantage is that the areas of the foot or the root system of the plant rising moisture vapors through the plate are retained and condense on the plate wall and thus finally fed back to the bottom will.

The plate is inclined conically towards the foot, M

so that the water is better at the foot of the plant can drain. Rainwater is also directed to the trunk as a result.

Another embodiment is characterized by that the edge of the plate-like plate is flanged on both sides. This ensures that rainwater can accumulate on the plate, with the appropriate Inclination of the plate is also conveyed towards the planting foot. The plate-like plate has In addition, an insertion slot so that the plate can be placed around the planting base.

Several exemplary embodiments are shown in the drawing.

Fig. 1 shows the device in section? Fig. 2 shows the other embodiment in section;

Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the plate part Plate.

The plate-like plate is denoted by 1; she is beaded at the edge 6. The bead 6 is towards the floor directed towards. The plate itself is inclined towards the central opening 3 so that the plate itself is conical Has shape.

The plate 1 surrounds the plant 8 in a certain area, so that the weeds 7 first outside this Area can grow. This ensures that the plant can grow unhindered by weeds; aside from that the plant is more easily visible, so that when removing the weeds, the Plant itself is eliminated with.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the plate-like plate surrounded by a bead downwards and upwards 5.

Fig. 3 shows the plate according to FIG. 2 from above. The central opening is denoted by 3; the insertion slot bears the reference symbol k. The upper surface of the plate is labeled 2.

The plate-like plate can be made of paper, plastic or sheet metal.
