BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for cultivating root vegetables according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the configuration of the present embodiment. The cultivation frame 1 for root vegetables of the present embodiment (hereinafter, abbreviated as “cultivation frame 1”) is installed on a substantially horizontal leveled ground formed by excavating a sloping land in a substantially stepped shape. And the earth retaining plate 2.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a support formed in a frame shape, which is formed by a vertical rod 10a and a horizontal rod 10b formed of corrosion-resistant wood, a resin material, a metal rod, or the like. The body is placed in a recumbent shape, and is placed on a level ground 60 with the valley side at a right angle. Then, through the support 3 buried and fixed to the ground level 60, each support 10,
By connecting the side surfaces of 10,..., They are arranged in parallel in the direction in which the sloped land 6 extends (the direction along the contour line).

The earth retaining plate 2 is made of a wooden plate, a metal plate, a resin plate or the like, and is attached so as to cover the surface of the support 10 on the valley side V. In addition, if necessary, it may be attached to both side end surfaces S of the continuous support body 10, and an appropriate number of water may be provided at an appropriate place so that rainwater from the mountain side M does not excessively stay in the cultivation frame 1. A hole 20 may be provided.

The earth retaining plate 2 is substantially L-shaped attached to the column 3.
Figure-shaped receiving bracket 4 and bar
5 and is detachably attached to each support 10. In addition, the both ends S of the cultivation frame 1 are configured to fix the earth retaining plate 2 with a fixture (not shown).

The earth retaining plate 2 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and is not limited to a plate material as long as it has an earth retaining function. For example, a mesh material or a bamboo-shaped bamboo bamboo bamboo or the like may be used. It may be.

[0017]

The operation of the embodiment constructed as described above operates as follows. In the space of the cultivation frame 1 defined by the sloping ground 6 and the earth retaining plate 2, the cultivation soil 7 is filled and the root vegetables 8 are filled.
(Especially yams) are cultivated for a predetermined period. And
At the time of harvesting, the bar 5 is removed from each support 10 and the soil retaining plate 2 on the valley side V is removed (FIG. 2), and the cultivation soil 7 is discharged in an appropriate amount to perform harvesting. At this time, since the friction holding force of the cultivation soil 7 on the root vegetables 8 decreases, the root vegetables 8 can be extracted upward or forward (toward the valley side) with a small amount of labor.

In order to facilitate the work of harvesting the root crops 8 and the like, the valley side V of the cultivation frame 1 may be provided with a flat portion serving as a work place or a passage along the cultivation frame 1. After the harvest, the soil retaining plate 2 is placed on the cultivation frame 1 in preparation for the next cultivation.
