Abstract
A biodegradable vessel or pod 1 which is formed from vegetable starch by injection moulding. It may be filled with compost 2 and planted with a seed or bulb 3. The whole container may then be placed in the soil 4 giving any seeds or seedlings a total organic environment with protection for it to grow and develop. Being made of a biodegradable substance the container will break down over time in contact with the soil. The vessel may have a hole to allow for the growth of roots 5.
Description
BIODEGRADABLE SEEDPOD
description
A biodegradable vessel or pod 1. which is injection moulded from starch or vegetable oil based material which behaves and moulds like plastic. It can be filled with compost 2. and an appropriate seed or bulb 3.
The whole pod can be planted, avoiding any damage to roots, and at the same time provide a total organic environment for the plant to be nurtured and grow.
The pod will then break down in the soil 4. During the time the pod takes to biodegrade in the soil, the hole in the base of the pod will allow root growth 5. Once the pod has degraded back to the soil it will become part of the surrounding organic matter 6.
Claims (9)
1. A biodegradable vessel or pod which is injection moulded from
vegetable starch.
2. A pod which can be tilled with compost according to claim 1, with an appropriate seed or bulb.
3. A pod which can nurture the seed or bulb according to claim 2, in a nursery garden or greenhouse for an appropriate period
4. A pod which can he planted in the soil according to claim 3 in its entirety without disturbing the roots or plant structure
5. A pod which will then break down in the soil according to claim 4, providing a protective organic environment for the seed or bulb to be nurtured and grow.
6. A pod which will break down in the soil according to claim 5, allowing the plant roots to spread freely.
7. A pod which having broken down in the soil according to claim 6, will become an organic part of the soil, and degrade back to vegetable matter.
8. A pod which having broken down in the soil being manufactured from pure vegetable matter according to claim 7, will not have to be disposed of in a landfill or other waste site.
9. A pod which having been made from pure organic matter according to claim 8, will not use any fossil or oil based plastic material.
