Abstract

Soil base for planting and cultivating various plants comprises a base. granulate of vulcanite and/or fired day with a water storing high swelling copolymer and water flow inhibiting mineral fibre. The mineral fibre is comminuted store wool and the copolymer is coloured the same colour as the vulcanite or clay. The base material consist of 90-95% vulcanite or clay and 1% copolymer and 4-9% fibre. The vulcanite is lava or pumice stone. ADVANTAGE - Retains moisture content for long time thereby eliminating need for rewatering after short intervals.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Feuchtigkeit haltendes Pflanzsub­ strat, dessen Grundsubstrat sich aus mineralischen Bestand­ teilen wie Vulkaniten, d. h., Lava oder Bimsstein oder alter­ nativ auch aus gebranntem Ton zusammensetzt, dem eine wasser­ speichernde Substanz und eine wasserrückhaltende, bzw. die Durchflußgeschwindigkeit zugeführten Wassers hemmende Substanz beigemischt ist.The invention relates to a moisture-retaining plant sub strat, whose basic substrate consists of mineral stock divide like volcanics, d. i.e., lava or pumice stone or older natively also composed of fired clay, which is a water storing substance and a water retention, or the Flow rate of water inhibiting substance is added.

Das Ziel von Pflanzsubstraten ist, das gedeihliche Wachstum von allen möglichen blühenden und nichtblühenden Pflanzen bei geringem Pflegeaufwand. Hierunter ist die Zugabe bzw. ständige Nachversorgung mit Wasser ohne oder mit Zugabe von Düngemit­ teln zu verstehen.The goal of planting substrates is to thrive of all kinds of flowering and non-flowering plants low maintenance. Below that is the addition or permanent Follow-up supply with water without or with the addition of fertilizer to understand.

Hierzu ist da Hydrokultursystem bekannt, bei dem gebranntes Ton­ granulat in einen Kulturtopf gegeben wird, in dem seitlich ein Wasserstandsanzeiger eingesetzt ist. Im Tongranulat werden die Wurzeln der zu kultivierenden Pflanze eingesetzt, wobei wegen nachfolgender Fäulnis an den Wurzeln keinerlei organische Stof­ fe haften dürfen. Im Boden des Kulturtopfes ist eine Nährstoff­ batterie eingeklemmt.For this purpose, the hydroponic system is known, for the fired clay Granulate is placed in a culture pot, in the side Water level indicator is used. In the clay granules, the Roots of the plant to be cultivated used, because of subsequent rotting at the roots, no organic matter may be liable. In the bottom of the culture pot is a nutrient battery jammed.

Der Kulturtopf wird in einen Übertopf gesetzt, dem auch das Gießwasser zugeführt wird. Der Wasserstandsanzeiger zeigt an, wenn Wasser nachzufüllen ist. Das kann je nach klimatischen Verhältnissen erst nach einigen Wochen sein.The culture pot is placed in a planter, which also that Irrigation water is supplied. The water level indicator shows when water has to be refilled. Depending on the climatic conditions Conditions only after a few weeks.

Der technische Aufwand an den Hydrokulturen ist also ziemlich hoch und auch teuer.The technical effort for the hydroponics is therefore quite high high and also expensive.

Es ist auch versucht worden, zur Feuchtigkeitshaltung Torferde mit kleinen Kugeln aus expandiertem Polystyrol zu mischen. Da dieses kaum Wasser aufnimmt, bleibt die Torferde zwar locker, aber nicht lange feucht.There has also been an attempt to moisturize peat soil to mix with small balls made of expanded polystyrene. There hardly absorbing water, the peat soil remains loose, but not moist for long.

Auch Gemische von Erde, Torf und granuliertem gebrannten Ton sind zwar billig, bringen aber nicht den erwünschten Effekt einer in größeren Abständen erforderlichen Nachversorgung mit Wasser.Mixtures of soil, peat and granulated burned clay are cheap, but do not have the desired effect with aftercare necessary at larger intervals Water.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein billiges Pflanz­ substrat zu schaffen, welches in ein übliches Pflanzgefäß, z. B. Kübel, Blumentopf usw. gefüllt wird. Danach soll eine Pflanze mit ihrem normalen Topfballen in das Pflanzsubstrat einpflanzbar und kultivierbar sein, wobei zugegebenes Wasser lange Zeit gespeichert bleibt und den Topfballen feucht hält.The invention has for its object a cheap plant to create substrate, which in a conventional planter,  e.g. B. bucket, flowerpot, etc. is filled. After that should a plant with its normal bale of pot in it Plant substrate can be planted and cultivated, while added water remains stored for a long time and keeps the bale moist.

Weitere Aufgaben der Erfindung bestehen darin, daß das neue Pflanzsubstrat unabhängig von knappen Rohstoffen ist und eine optimale Sauerstoffversorgung der Wurzeln gewährleistet.Further objects of the invention are that new plant substrate independent of scarce raw materials is and an optimal oxygen supply to the roots guaranteed.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Aufgabenstellung dadurch gelöst, daß das Pflanzsubstrat aus einem Gemisch von zerkleinerten Vulkaniten und/oder gebranntem Ton als Grundsubstrat, einem wasserspeichernden, hochquellfähigen Copolymer und die Durchflußgeschwindigkeit von zuge­ gegebenem Wasser hemmenden Mineralfasern besteht.According to the invention, the task is thereby solved that the plant substrate from a mixture of crushed volcanic and / or fired clay as Base substrate, a water-storing, highly swellable Copolymer and the flow rate of zuge given water-inhibiting mineral fibers.

Diese bestehen aus zerkleinerter Steinwolle, das Copolymer ist in den Farben der Vulkanite bzw. des gebrannten Tones eingefärbt.These consist of crushed rock wool, the Copolymer is in the colors of the vulcanite or colored clay.

Die Anteile des Grundsubstrates an Vulkaniten bzw. gebranntem Ton betragen 90% bis 95%, der Anteil an Copolymer 1% und der Anteil an Mineralfasern 4% bis 9%.The proportions of the base substrate in volcanic or fired clay amount to 90% to 95%, the proportion of Copolymer 1% and the proportion of mineral fibers 4% till 9%.

Das aus Lava, Bimsstein und/oder gebranntem Ton be­ stehende Grundsubstrat hat eine Körnung von 2 mm bis 6 mm und ist selbst bedingt hygroskopisch. Das Copolymer, welches farblich dem Grundsubstrat angepaßt ist, ist hoch quellfähig und bindet ein Vielfaches seines Eigenvolumens an Wasser. Durch die Farbgebung ist es nach der Beimischung im Grundsubstrat unauffällig. Es gibt sein Wasser langsam an das nach und nach austrocknende Grundsubstrat ab, so daß die Nachversorgung mit Wasser je nach klimatischen Verhältnissen zwischen 10 und 30 Tagen liegen kann. Den Mineralfasern aus Steinwolle fällt die Aufgabe zu, das Pflanzsubstrat homogener zu machen, um in diesem eine gewisse Wasserrückhaltung zu erreichen. Dieser Effekt wird durch die adhäsive Eigenschaft der Steinwollfasern ermöglicht. Die Wasserspeicherung des Pflanzensubstrates ist so hoch, daß auf ein zu­ sätzliches Wasserreservoir verzichtet werden kann. The be made of lava, pumice and / or fired clay standing base substrate has a grain size of 2 mm up to 6 mm and is itself hygroscopic. The copolymer, which is the color of the base substrate is adapted, is highly swellable and integrates Many times its own volume of water. Through the It is colored after being added to the base substrate inconspicuous. It slowly gives in to the water and after drying out the base substrate, so that the Follow-up water supply depending on the climatic conditions Ratios can be between 10 and 30 days. The mineral fibers from rock wool do the job to make the planting substrate more homogeneous in order to to achieve a certain water retention. This effect is due to the adhesive property of rock wool fibers. Water storage of the plant substrate is so high that towards one additional water reservoir can be dispensed with.  

Ein ggf. in das Pflanzsubstrat eingesteckter Feuchtigkeitsmes­ ser zeigt an, wenn Wasser zugeführt werden muß. Übertöpfe sind zur Kultivierung von Pflanzen nicht erforderlich.A moisture meter possibly inserted in the plant substrate It shows when water needs to be added. Planters are not necessary for the cultivation of plants.
