Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for enabling planting trees in an inclined face of soil difficult to fix trees therein.
  • pine trees will overcome such soil of stones and base rocks and take root, to be implanted.
  • the conventional methods would provide foreign soil in an inclined face to grow trees, which inflicts, however, a heavy burden in contrast to flat land. Moreover, such precious foreign soil may be lost by rainwater etc.
  • trees may be lifted against a solid inclined face as the roots grow, so that the roots may not be implanted into the inclined face.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for planting trees free from the above-mentioned problems peculiar to the prior art.
  • a planting method comprises the steps of placing a plurality of compartments in a sandbag in its whole length direction and proving each of said compartments with windows in external communication, to make up said sandbag such as made with a flexible material which the roots of said trees can break through; containing soil into each of said compartments with said sandbag as laid horizontal; planting trees through said windows into each of said compartments; arranging said sandbag as completed of planting, in said inclined face with the trunks of said trees exposed through said windows; filling soil between sandbag and said inclined face; and pressing said sandbag onto said inclined face by means of a fence which the stems or trunks of said trees can pass through.
  • the planting method of the present invention first of all it is possible to supply soil and plant trees in a sandbag as laid horizontal, thus enabling the work to be done not in a inclined face but on the horizontal ground.
  • the structure of the sandbag can be made simple, because it is possible to supply soil, plant trees, and expose the trunks through the same windows.
  • a reference numeral 1 refers to a sandbag arranged in an inclined face G.
  • the sandbag 1 must be made with at least an flexible material having such a strength that the roots of a tree T can break through it, as which material is assumed here a non-woven fabric sheet made of polyester, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, span bond, etc.
  • the sandbag 1 comprises therein a plurality of compartments 2, to contain soil, sequentially arranged in the direction of the whole length of the sandbag 1.
  • the sandbag 1 is assumed here to be completely closed like a bag, it must not necessarily be completely closed but may be a type of a bag opened at the end for example.
  • a reference numeral 3 refers to a window opened in the above-mentioned compartment, coming in a slit arranged along the whole length of the sandbag 1.
  • the window 3 is arranged on the basis of the number and the spacing of trees T distributed into each of the compartments 2, it may of course be given to each window or each number of windows of a further subdivided compartment 2, because of which the compartment wall is not shown.
  • the sandbag 1 is first placed as laid horizontal, for example, on the horizontal ground.
  • the slit-shaped windows 3 are deformed into an large circular shape, through which soil 4 is supplied into each of the compartments.
  • each compartment 2 containing the soil 4 the trees T are planted through the windows 3.
  • trees T those trees cultivated by such a method as generally called “container cultivation” or “pot cultivation” are used.
  • the soil 1 as completed of the above-mentioned work is hoisted up by a crane etc. to be arranged at a desired planting position, during which in the present embodiment the soil 1 is pulled by its own weight in a direction of its own whole length, so that the windows 3 are solidly closed in their original slit shape, thus preventing the soil 3 from leaking out.
  • the above-mentioned soil 1 will be fixed in the inclined face G, here by means of a fence.
  • anchors 7 (which is assumed to measure 2 to 3 meters in length and be made of metal) are first buried in the inclined face G at a prescribed spacing.
  • the soil 1 completed of planting is hoisted up with a crane etc. and arranged in the inclined face G with the tree trunks as exposed through the windows.
  • the soil 1 thus arranged in the inclined surface G are, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, pressed onto the inclined surface by means of a fence 6, which is fixed to the anchors 7 at the same time.
  • the fence 6 must have therein at least through-holes which the trunks of the trees T can pass through, coming assumably in for example, a grid-shaped assembly of wires or a wire-netting (see FIG. 6).
  • the fence 6 is fixed to the anchors 7 protruded from the inclined surface G with for example a wire 8, it may of course be fixed with such hardware as the wire 8 through which rings A or hooks provided at the head of the anchors 7 are pierced.
  • the soil 10 is filled between the sandbag 1 and the inclined face G so that the trees T may take root well and also that the sandbag 1 may be adapted to the irregularities in the surfaces of the inclined face G.
  • the trees T as completed of the above-mentioned work are first grown in soil 2 in the sandbag 1 used as a soil floor and then, their roots would break through the sandbag 1 and grow on the soil 10, thus expanding as far as to the inclined face G.
  • trunks T1 of the trees T expanding over the ground will of course pass through the through-holes of the fence 6.
  • the trees T will assumably be given as many as about 8 through 10 per m 2 at around the start of execution but, eventually, be reduced to one or so per 3 m 2 by natural selection in a course of growing.
  • the fence 6 will be kept as fixed for approximately 10 to 20 years until the roots of the trees T are locked together to provide a natural forest, in order to prevent the surface soil of the inclined face G from falling in.
  • the tree suited for the embodiments of the present invention may best come in for example Juniperus Chinensis, Juniperus Conferta, Euonymus Fortunei, Cotoneaster, Cotoneaster Horizontal, Vitex Rotundifolia, etc., but in any kinds of trees as far as they can be planted generally, if the inclination angle of the inclined face is 60 degrees or less.
  • the present invention has the following inherent merits:
