Description

The innovation concerns a plant base, in which underneath the soil receiving the roots a substantially horizontally extending spatial tangled fiber fleece made of rot-proof synthetic fibers.

The German utility models 70 23 734 and 70 23 735 describe a plant base for hydroponics / in which the Bottom of the soil receiving container with a spatial random fiber fleece made of rot-proof synthetic fibers is covered * This insert is intended to ensure that the water that is not required is removed from the soil. It collects below the ground in the cavities of the fleece insert.

It has been shown that the excess water that collects in the insert at the bottom of the container often leads to decay of the utilities because it cannot be drained away and because the roots practically do not receive any hvft .

The aim of the innovation is to be at the bottom of the container to allow excess water to collect

evaporate without having to pass through the soil. Farther a really good ventilation of the root system should be achieved from all sides.

According to the innovation, this is achieved by a plant base in which underneath the soil receiving the roots there is a substantially horizontally extending spatial tangled fiber fabric made of rot-proof synthetic fibers and which is characterized in that the soil is laterally of a substantially vertically extending one spatial random fiber fleece is limited.

In this way, a ventilation space surrounding the soil is created, through which the excess moisture escapes, atmospheric oxygen penetrates and at the same time the entire root area is exposed to practically the same conditions .

After using this vertical insert, a much better plant growth could be observed. Young plants grew much faster and became much more powerful in newly prepared plant soil than such plants, which comparatively grew in plant soil with only one horizontal insert. Older plants showed The installation of the horizontal and vertical inlay in the flower pots or flower boxes resulted in a significant increase in the diameter of the trunk, the new leaves and flowers were clearly larger. In cacti, up to 30% larger cross-sections of the stan could be observed.

A plant base is preferred in which the essentially horizontally extending tangled fiber fleece and that in the essentially vertically extending random fiber fleece from a

A large number of loops, intersecting , largely amorphous threads made of melt-spun polymers, which are glued to one another at their crossing points. In addition to an extremely high cavity volume, such random fiber fleeces also have a high load-bearing capacity.

A preferred embodiment provides that the sides of the tangled fiber fleece insert facing in the Brdreich have a lower porosity than the other zones of the same. In particular, the porosity of the sides facing the ground should be between 50% and 70%, while the other zones have a porosity of 85% to 95%. Porosity is understood to be the percentage ratio of the volume of the piles to the total volume of the fleece insert.

The embodiment described above largely prevents the penetration of soil into the drainage and self-ventilation

In the case of flower pots, an el .e construction is preferred in which the bottom of the flower pot is covered with a disk-shaped tangled fiber fleece insert which is adapted to the shape of the flower pot and on which a hollow cylindrical curled fiber fleece insert is placed which is also adapted to the shape of the flower pot.

It has been shown that when using pots actual flower pot made of clay or foamed plastics can be completely dispensed with. Here, the fleece inlays have dimensions and shapes that are adapted to the pot.

For flower boxes, a design is preferred in which the essentially horizontally extending tangled fiber fleece and the essentially vertically extending tangled fiber fleece in the form of a uniform, essentially U-shaped profiled

Finally, FIG. 5 shows the use of vertical ventilation and drainage nonwovens in greenhouse or field crops. Here the soil 3 _f, which rests on a horizontal fleece 11, is interrupted at regular intervals by vertical fleeces. The effect is similar to that of flower boxes. Of course, further strips of fleece can also be arranged perpendicular to the vertical fleece 12, so that a lattice-shaped ventilation and drainage system is created. The effect here is comparable to that of flower pots.
