Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a planting ground material for cultivating plants such as planting trees and flowers in the planting fields of civil engineering works such as gardening and landscape design, and more particularly to a cased planting ground material for walls and slopes.
  • planting containers to be installed on walls or slopes are filled with compost through the top of the containers, and plants are planted to the compost.
  • Most of the containers have plants planted on the upper surface of the compost.
  • Some containers have an opening on the side thereof, through which plants are planted into the inside compost.
  • the materials of the containers include pottery, plastics, and palm fibers.
  • the irrigation and the fertilization are desired to be reducible in number of times as much as possible.
  • the compost and the containers are desired to be as light as possible.
  • coconut dust formed articles are conventionally known.
  • the coconut dust formed articles lack their strength; and installing on walls or slopes collapse these articles easily.
  • the coconut dust formed articles swell and are restored to the state prior to the forming, resulting in low density and in small water and fertilizer retention capacities by unit volume.
  • the compost is in poor contact with roots.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a planting ground material to be used for cultivating plants such as planting trees and flowers, suitable for walls and slopes.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a planting ground material which is light in weight and excellent in safety and working property.
  • still another object of the present invention is to provide a planting ground material in which high water and fertilizer retention capacities are provided so that the irrigation and fertilization can be reduced in number of times.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a planting ground material in which compost thereof is in tight contact with roots and the compost itself will not collapse.
  • the present invention is to provide a planting ground material, especially for use on walls and slopes, comprising compression formed compost and a case for holding the compost.
  • the material of the aforesaid case preferably has adequate strength for limiting the restoration in restoring the compression formed compost.
  • the material of the aforesaid case may be selected from among metal, synthetic resins, woody materials, natural and synthetic fibers, paper, and combinations thereof.
  • the aforesaid case may have a net-form, cloth-form, or plate-form surface.
  • the aforesaid case may comprise an opening or an openable portion for planting.
  • the cased planting ground materials according to the present invention are light in weight, offering excellent working property. This also maintains high safety during the installation of the material.
  • cased planting ground materials offer tight contact with roots, and the compost itself will not collapse.
  • the materials also offer high mobility in installing and the like, and can maintain preferable conditions for cultivating plants.
  • the accompanying drawing is a perspective view of a cased planting ground material according to the present invention.
  • the drawing shows a cased planting ground material, especially suitable for walls and slopes, 1 according to the present invention.
  • the cased planting ground material 1 comprises a case 2 and compression formed compost 3.
  • the compression formed compost 3 is in a state where it has been restored by irrigation.
  • the compression formed compost to be employed in the present invention is compression formed in advance, and is restored by irrigation.
  • the material of the compost includes coconut dusts, coconut chips, coconut fibers, peat moss, bagasse, beaten bark, straw, soil, and fertilizers.
  • a compression formed ground material for cultivating plants as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No.Hei 8-221297 is preferably used.
  • the compression forming may be performed by conventionally-known methods.
  • a pressure of 250 kg/cm 2 is applied in the compression with compression ratios ranging preferably from 1.3 to 4, and more preferably from 1.5 to 3. Compression ratios smaller than 1.3 decrease the formed article in strength, and compression ratios greater than 4 lead to harder restoration.
  • the present invention includes the case for holding the aforesaid compression formed compost.
  • the case limits the restoration of the compression formed compost, thereby keeping the compost high in density.
  • the compression formed compost is high in water and fertilizer retention capacities by unit volume in spite of its light weight, so that the irrigation and the fertilization can be reduced in number of times.
  • the compression formed compost is preferably limited within restoring magnifications from 110% to 300%, and more preferably from 140% to 250%. At restoring magnifications equal to or greater than 300%, the water and fertilizer retention capacities are not adequate, nor be preferable for growing roots of plants.
  • the compost is preferably limited by the case so as to fall within 0.11 to 0.20 g/cm 3 , more preferably 0.13 to 0.16 g/cm 3 , in density after restoration. At densities below 0.11 g/cm 3 , the water and fertilizer capacities are not adequate, nor be preferable for growing roots of plants. In addition, such compost is too soft to support plants.
  • the compost is restored while being confined in the shape of the case, which allows the compost after restoration to take the same shape as that of the case. Therefore, by means of the case, the compost can be formed in an appropriate shape corresponding to the installation place thereof, thereby permitting free planting.
  • the case in the present invention may be made of any materials as long as the materials have adequate strength for limiting the restoration of the compression formed compost.
  • the materials include metal, synthetic resins, woody materials, natural and synthetic fibers, and paper. One of these materials may be used alone, or some combinations thereof may be used. In view of workability, strength, and the like, metal materials are particularly preferable. Meanwhile, in view of weight saving, natural or synthetic fiber materials are preferable.
  • a bag case of coconut fibers and the like is preferably used in terms of strength, cost, easiness of fabrication, and the like.
  • the bag case may also be used as an outer bag of the compost in compression forming.
  • the case may take any surface form as long as the compression formed compost can be limited and held in restoring.
  • the surface forms include net-form, cloth-form, and plate-form, for example.
  • a net-form surface is particularly preferable; here, the net needs to have adequate dimensions for retaining the compost.
  • An opening or an openable portion for planting is preferably provided.
  • wire nets which bind the upper and lower surfaces of the compression formed compost to hold, may be used as the case in the present invention.
  • retainers corresponding to the fixing devices may be provided inside the bag.
  • retainers such as a wire net, a wire, and a metal belt are arranged at appropriate positions inside the bag. Then, the compost is stuffed into the bag, and compression formed.
  • the retainers can be built-in in advance.
  • retainers such as a wire net, a wire, and a metal belt may be arranged on the outer periphery of the case to allow the fixing devices to install the case onto a wall surface.
  • the watered and restored article of the compression formed compost can receive plants planted on all over the surface thereof even when the article is in a thin plate shape of, for example, 5 cm or so in thickness. Therefore, the available area for planting plants by volume of compost is large. Besides, in the present invention, plants are planted to the planting ground materials mountable on walls, which gives the plants an appearance of growing from wall surfaces, leading to excellent design.
  • sheet-covered compression formed compost can prevent the compost on walls from scattering due to strong wind, and those on slopes from run-off due to rain.
  • Compression formed plate compost of coconut dusts of 30x30x3.5 cm in dimension and 700 g in dry weight, was inserted into and held in an iron net case of 30x30x5.0 cm in dimension to obtain a cased planting ground material for walls and slopes according to the present invention.
  • the used coconut dusts were of 32 me/100g in fertilizer retention capacity.
  • the compression formed plate swelled into integration with the case, thereby being held and fixed. The restored article was left for one day after the watering.
  • Table 1 shows the weight, the density, and the water and fertilizer retention capacities by unit weight of the article at the time point.
  • the ground materials of the examples 1 and 2 are increased by approximately 40% in weight, density, and water and fertilizer retention capacities by unit volume as compared with the comparative example 1. Accordingly, this shows that the embodiments 1 and 2 are excellent.
  • the cased planting ground materials for walls and slopes obtained in the examples 1 and 2 were planted with flowers (pansies and English ivies), watered, and hung on a wall. It was confirmed that the flowers had rooted immediately, and that the roots were extended in the cased planting ground materials after a week.
