DESCRIPTION

"modular panels for ready hedge â €,

The present invention refers to a cultivation method for the construction of hedge panels ready to be laid, having the definitive dimensions and capable of immediately providing the function of shielding and determining the property boundaries.

The formation of hedges is normally carried out by laying plants close together, which, as they grow, take on volume and, with appropriate shaping, perform the required shielding and insulation function.

This process inherently has the drawback of requiring quite a long time for the customer to benefit from the desired isolation, as well as the possibility that some plants may die in the settlement phase, since most of the time, the plants are plucked in the nursery shortly before laying, which takes place in the hot season, does not leave the root system time to adapt to the water needs of the plant. It also requires the use of many plants, laid with high plant / meter density, to anticipate the covering effect, significantly affecting costs, and causing internal difficulty during cleaning, as the plants are too close together.

The object of the present invention is to provide a cultivation method which allows to supply to! customer a hedge already shaped and ready to effect, grown in a container. This allows to eliminate the stress that plants normally undergo when zoning in the nursery, thus making each installation effective and safe, making it possible to lay hedges at all times of the year, thus avoiding growth times once a dwelling, and the costs of replacing plants that normally die if they encounter long periods of drought soon after transplanting.

In accordance with the present invention, these objects and others are achieved by means of a method for making modular hedge panels comprising the steps of: using a longitudinally sectioned round section plastic tube; placing a metal mesh folded on itself in said section of pipe; distance the mesh from the pipe; lay a micro-perforated tube on the bottom of the section of said first tube; insert the clods of hedge plants inside the wire mesh; leaning the metal mesh against the clods; filling the first said container with potting soil; cultivate the plants by shaping them with repeated cuts.

The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become evident from the following detailed description of one of its forms of application, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

figure 1 shows the section of plastic pipe which can have theoretically infinite length, by virtue of the fact that the cultivation takes place in suitable spaces and that the greater the length of the cultivated sections, the greater the regularity of the shape and the lower the costs. ¬ shaping, it being understood that for the purposes of laying ready hedge modules will be taken, of the most suitable length for transport and the type of garden they are intended for, an aspect not to be overlooked that has led to the use of a longitudinal section of pipe as a container, in addition to the low cost, it is the simplicity of extracting the clod once it is ready for the plant, also allowing its reuse since from this simplicity also derives the fact that it will be possible to extract it without damaging the container;

figure 2 shows the folded metal net within which the clods of the plants that will form the panel will be deposited and which will be leaning against the clods to provide structure to the module during transplantation, it is in fact the function of the net to be incorporated by the roots to give consistency to the clod during installation;

figure 3 shows the spacer to be interposed between the net and the bottom of the container, leaving a space to allow the roots to expand and bind to the net also on the bottom of the container;

figure 4 shows the micro-perforated PVC pipe for irrigation of the hedge modules, both during cultivation and once planted, reconnecting ì pipe segments with special collector joints, thus reconstituting the length of the microperforated pipe the hedge provided;

figure 5 shows the reinforcement bracket of the container to be affixed at variable distance intervals, eg. 30 cm., Relative to the type of species to be used and to the density with which the plants are placed in the container, this will be easily removable, but will allow to avoid that during cultivation the increase in volume of the roots will break the container, creating some dangerous empty spaces that would favor the evaporation of water as well as its percolation on the ground;

Figure 6 shows the method in detail that characterizes it:

Claims (1)

CLAIMS 1. Method for making modular ready-to-use hedge panels for gardens comprising the steps of: use a longitudinal section of plastic tube as a container; insert the clods of several plants inside a metal mesh; use a metal mesh as a structure for a clod formed by the root systems of several plants; providing said methane network with a bend to form a tube; insert a PVC pipe for irrigation into the container; space the net from the bottom of the container; cultivate and shape the hedge plants until you have a hedge module ready to use, shaped and of the final size; transplant ì modules recomposing them in the sequence they had in the nursery, to form the definitive hedge. 2 â € ž Method according to claim 1 characterized by the fact that the use of the pipe section as container comprises the step of cutting the 9 pipes, 3, Method according to claim 1 characterized by the fact that the clods of the plants are inserted inside a methane network which gives structure to the whole of the root systems. 4, Method according to claim 1, characterized by the fact of providing a tube for wetting inside the clods. Method according to claim 1 characterized by! made to provide customers with an immediate effect hedge, professionally shaped and without waiting times, with no risk of plant loss due to transplant stress. 6. Method according to claim 1 characterized by the fact that the extraction of the hedge modules from a semicircular container allows greater speed in the execution of the excavation of the trench where the modules are placed. Method according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the cultivation of plants in a container with a longitudinal development allows to have a clod of modest dimensions while containing the weight and the dimensions of the trench for its opening. Method according to claim 1 characterized in that a hedge trimmer is used to shape the modules. , Ready hedge modules made according to methods 1, 2, 3,4,5, 6, 7,8
