Abstract

The procedure, for setting out and planting to a planned pattern, is established by placing, on the flower beds to be planted, the pattern, formed on a biodegradable sheet, carrying the planned indications of the planting, drawn to actual scale. Planting of the required plants is then carried out through holes cut in the sheet, in the places as indicated on the sheet and according to the requirements of the plan. The sheet can then either be left in place to degrade or can be lifted. USE/ADVANTAGE - It enables a flower bed to be planned and the plan executed accurately and easily.

Description

 The invention relates to a method and a pattern for setting up plantations.

 More and more individuals are looking to make their own pleasure gardens but, having no particular training in this area, find it difficult to achieve harmonious planting both from a horticultural point of view (choice of plants according to soil, exposure, size, etc.? only aesthetically (choice of colors, volumes, staggered flowering periods and durations, etc.). Advice is given to them at the time of purchase of seeds or plants but they are not always retained or applied.

 The invention solves the problem by providing a method of setting up plantations, in which a pattern consisting of a sheet bearing planting indications is placed on the flowerbeds to be planted, the plantations being placed through said plant. sheet following the directions of the owner, and remove the sheet or leave it to degrade on the spot as watering progresses.

 The pattern for planting is also provided, consisting of a sheet bearing planting indications, the pattern being on the scale of the flower bed to be planted. Such a sheet can be biodegradable.

 The pattern is produced in the form of a sheet of material, with the dimensions of the flower bed to be produced and bearing next to planting marks, the indication of the plant species to be planted and possibly one or two species which can be substituted for it.

 The user sets up this sheet on the flower bed to be planted, of course after having prepared this flower bed for the reception of the plantations, cuts the sheet at the markers, sets up the plantations through the cuts and remove the leaf or leave it in place when planting is complete.

 When the leaf is left in place, it will degrade to shreds as watering and plant development develop, which shreds are easy to remove.

It is understood that here the expression "establishment of plantations" applies to the establishment of seeds, the transplanting of young plants and the planting of plants and shrubs having grown in pots or in pots
The cuts made by the user at the benchmarks will of course be adapted to the plant that one wishes to introduce therein (seeds, seedlings or plants already developed) The sheet is made of any natural or synthetic material, in the form of a woven sheet or non-woven, capable of being printed to receive planting instructions and able to be folded. This sheet can be made of biodegradable paper, that is to say most often a paper loaded with starch, or of biodegradable plastic, such plastics comprising starch patterns.

 According to a particularly advantageous variant, the leaf is impregnated with a fertilizer which promotes plant growth. Of course, the fertilizer can be chosen specifically according to the plantations recommended by the owner.

 Such patterns can be prepared in standard dimensions, for example with a length of 3 m and different widths, ranging from 50 cm to 2 or 3 m.

If the user's bed does not correspond to the standard dimensions, it suffices to cut the pattern to the desired dimensions.

 Such a pattern lends itself to various forms of marketing. It can for example be sold individually, inserted in a magazine, sold by correspondence, sold in bookstores or in stores specializing in plants, or even supplied with the plants which it recommends for use.
