Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technical field relating to a material using a plant material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, materials of various types and uses are provided, but most of them are materials obtained through industrial processes such as plastics and metals.

[0003] These materials are indispensable for maintaining and developing modern advanced technology, but on the other hand, the development and production of such materials has led to the reduction of carbon dioxide in the air. It is an undeniable fact that it causes new problems such as an increase, depletion of the ozone layer, and environmental hormones, and has a considerable impact on the global environment.

[0004] Under such circumstances, there is provided a material produced by a process that is as "regressive as possible" as far as possible without going through an industrial process as in the past, such as a pavement material obtained by solidifying rice husks and shells. Have been.

[0005] However, such attempts have only just begun, and at present, these "naturally-returning materials" have not yet reached a level that can be substituted for conventional industrial products.

The present inventor has proposed such a “natural regression material”
The study was conducted to provide a means for obtaining As a result, focusing on the vigorous elongation of plant roots, and utilizing this root ability as the core of the phenomenon of "rooting", it is produced not in industrial production processes but in agricultural production processes. Possible, traditionally difficult to fix fine objects fixed, environmentally friendly "Natural regression material: fine objects fixed in a fixed shape by plant rooting, It has been found that it is possible to provide a “fixed object” (hereinafter, also referred to as a “fixed object”) (WO
No. 00/25570).

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Extremely innovative fixing that can fix fine objects without using a chemical binder and can improve the environment such as greening the environment and suppressing the rise in temperature of the concrete environment. Although the main embodiment of the fixed object for the purpose of environmental improvement using moss plants is a moss plant, the moss plant is covered with a rooted surface, and at the time of construction, the color of the moss plant may be recognized. There was a complaint that it was difficult (even with conventional root-fixed material, there is virtually no problem since moss plants regenerate and germinate afterwards and moss plants regenerate on the surface of the root-fixed surface ).

[0008] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fixed base material having moss exposed on the outside of the construction surface.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to solve this problem, and as a result, have found that the moss plant is specifically captured mainly by the root hair of the root of the plant. I came up with something to take advantage of. In other words, it is possible to fix the moss plant in a state where the moss plant is exposed to the outside by creating a surface in which the root of the plant is raised upright and capturing the moss plant with the root hairs of the root. I found it.

[0010] In the present invention, a thin object is fixed to the base,
A part of or the whole of a fine object is a moss plant, in which the moss plant is fixed via a root portion standing upright from the surface of the moss plant (hereinafter also referred to as the present fixed object). It is the invention which provides.

In the present invention, the term "small object" literally means "small object", and is not particularly limited as long as it can be fixed by plant rooting. Stones such as gravel, sand, pumice stones, pebbles, lightweight aggregates, plants (including moss plants), plant fibers, straw, garbage, paper chips, peat moss, charcoal chips, ores, etc.
It can be selected according to the purpose. Further, in the present specification, the term "soil fine material" may be used, which means "fine matter having a form similar to soil", and specifically, soil, gravel, and sand. , Lightweight aggregate, peat moss and the like.

In the present invention, the term "root fixing" specifically refers to a fixing phenomenon in which the root forms a root surface, and the thin object is fixed by forming the root surface. Means the state that it is. A “rooting surface” is a planar structure consisting of roots, so to speak, in the form of a non-woven fabric, which can be formed with limited extension of the plant roots to the lower part. Such planar rooting is recognized in normal hydroponics, etc.
Unlike the “state in which the roots are intertwined”, this is a phenomenon in which a nonwoven fabric-like structure is formed as described above in a state where the root hairs of the main roots arranged in a plane are in contact with each other. In the present fixed object, a) macroscopically, the fixation target is captured by the entire rooted surface, and b) microscopically, the root hairs of the root forming the rooted surface are fine objects ( Direct contact with the moss (mainly bryophyte) and the capture of its fines only provides the desired rooting fixation.

In the present invention, there is an embodiment in which a penetrable member or the like is used as a means for complementing the anchoring (which will be described in detail later). As long as it contributes to the fixation of fixed objects,
It is included in the category of "fixed roots".

The "plant" to be rooted is not particularly limited as long as it can at least root itself.
It can be widely used regardless of whether it is herbaceous or woody.

Further, as the above-mentioned plants, leafy vegetables such as vegetables and fruits, spinach, cabbage, komatsuna, bok choy, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, leek; Root vegetables: real vegetables such as cucumber and tomato can also be used.

Although one kind of plant can be used as the above-mentioned plant, it is also possible to use two or more kinds of plants. For example, two or more kinds of plants having different forms of rooting (for example, directionality, speed, strength, density, root color, texture, etc. of rooting) are used in combination to provide convenience for the production of the fixed object. It is also possible.

Here, a method of manufacturing a fixed base material, which is the basis of the manufacture of the fixed material, is described in WO 00/25570 and the like, and can be generally manufactured as follows.

[0020] The fixed material may be used, for example, at least when nutrients that allow the roots of the above-mentioned plants to grow are supplied and at least the roots are restricted from growing in the vertical direction. And the roots of the plant are arranged to extend in this place, the roots of the plant are elongated, and the small objects are fixed to the roots.

The term "place" is to be understood in a broad sense, and does not mean only a space in which elements other than air do not exist, but includes water (including nutrients) in all or a part thereof. May be filled, or the soil may be entirely or partially filled with soil. "Place"
As a typical example, a mold such as a middle plate-shaped pallet can be mentioned. (In the present invention, unless stated otherwise, the middle plate-shaped pallet or the mold is used. That means). Note that, in the “field” here, in addition to the restriction on the vertical extension of the root, the extension in the horizontal direction is usually restricted. If horizontal root elongation is not restricted, it is often difficult for roots to form a sufficient rooting surface simply by extending the root in the horizontal direction, increasing rooting strength This is because it is difficult to make them. Therefore, as described above, a frame such as a pallet used as a place is usually provided with a vertical frame, and the vertical frame restricts the root from extending in the horizontal direction. The base material is sufficiently formed on the bottom surface, and the small object is fixed by the base material, so that the fixed object can be manufactured.

"Introducing a small object into the field" means that the small object is arranged in some form in a field where the root is to be elongated. As a result, the method of introducing and arranging the fine object does not matter as long as the fine object enters the place in a desired state, for example, a filled state or a state where some voids are left. The arrangement of the narrow objects can be selected according to the specific form of the anchoring object to be manufactured.

As described above, the root of the plant extends in the place where the small object is introduced and arranged, and the root surface is formed in the small object. Things can be manufactured.

As described above, when a small object is to be fixed with roots, it is necessary to arrange a plant for rooting on the small object introduced and arranged in a place such as a formwork. The type of arrangement of the plant is not particularly limited, as long as the roots can be extended sufficiently to a desired extent to form a rooted surface. One of the typical embodiments is a plant for rooting (mainly,
Plant seeds) can be directly arranged on a thin object arranged in a mold or the like. In this case, the degree of plant arrangement (seed for seeds) can be appropriately adjusted depending on the rooting characteristics of the plant to be used and the required rooting strength. Generally, it is preferable to arrange as dense as possible because the density of the rooting in the fine object is improved and the rooting strength is also improved.

As for the method of elongating the roots of the roots of the plant, an existing method is appropriately selected while utilizing various properties of the roots against light, gravity, water, various plant hormones and the like. Is possible and is not particularly limited. For example, sand culture, gravel cult
ure), coal coal cultivation (top watering method, pouring method, liquid level vertical method, etc.), urethane cultivation, rockwool cultivation (rockwool culture)
Solid culture system such as; water culture (liquid level up and down method,
A non-solid cultivation method such as a reflux method, aeration method, a dropping method, and a spray method), a hydroponic method, a spray culture method (a spray method, a circulation method, and the like) can be selected.

In the production of the fixed material, the step of growing the plant and fixing the root can be carried out in a growth system with an improved hermeticity (preferably a slight aeration means is provided).

Specifically, for example, the growing system is sealed with an airtight vinyl sheet or the like while securing some ventilation means, and more preferably, the humidity of the closed system is reduced.
By improving by introducing water particles by spraying or the like, the generation of lateral roots (root hair), which plays a particularly important role when fixing moss plants, can be promoted.

Further, a water-absorbing polymer having a water releasing effect [Examples of the water-absorbing polymer having a water releasing effect include various N-vinylacetamide polymers manufactured by Showa Denko KK ( Product Name: G
X-205, NA-010, NA-300, GE-19
1)) is added to the fixed object (for example, mixed in a fine object, placed at a specific location of the fixed object, etc.), for example, to actively cure the plant with the fixed object. When used as a substrate for growing plants, it can be used as a means for saving watering.

Further, various fertilizers and rooting promoters can be used to promote the elongation of plant roots. For example, biological fertilizers containing biological elements such as mycorrhizal fungi,
Since the effect on the environment is relatively slow, it is one of the preferable choices when using a fertilizer.

[0030] If necessary, the plant part of the plant that has been cured at the time of fixing the roots is removed from the fine object having the roots fixed in the formwork or the like, if necessary. Make it unplayable. Making a plant non-renewable means not only regenerating the plant but also protecting the plant parts from corrosion in the fixed upholstery. Examples of the non-renewable means include drying of a plant (in the case of drying, applying a weight or the like to the fixed root material and applying pressure can improve the strength of the fixed root material); Partial shaving, heating and carbonization treatment, etc. can be mentioned. In addition, by actively removing the seed portion, the state in which reproduction is impossible can be thoroughly performed.

The separation and removal of the seed part of the plant used for fixing the roots from the fixed roots is performed as described above.
This is one of the preferable means for ensuring that the plant cannot be regenerated and for preventing corrosion during the production of the anchoring material. In other words, in the fixed rooted material, the plant part including the seed part of the plant is not directly involved in fixing the small objects, and it takes time and effort to make the seed part unreproducible. If a seed portion exists near the surface of the fixed rooted object, it is also assumed that the seed may cause birds and the like to fly. In addition, when the state where the seeds are present for a long time is continued, it is also assumed that various bacteria attached to the seeds proliferate, and the fixed stuff is moldy in the manufacturing process, and the yield of the product is deteriorated. In addition, the presence of the seeds causes the stem of the plant to continue to elongate. Particularly, when manufacturing a laminated substrate in which the fixed objects are laminated, the stem pushes up another laminated substrate. It is inconvenient. Therefore, it is an important matter in the technique of fixing the roots that the means for easily separating and removing the seed portion of the plant from the fixed roots is necessary.

In particular, the plant roots maintain their vital activity for a considerable period of time (at least 2-3 days) even after removing the seed portion. Surprisingly, when the rooted surface of the fixed rooted material from which the seed portion has been removed is brought into contact with a non-rooted surface or the like of another rooted fixed material (which may be a rooted surface), the seed portion is removed. The removed roots extend to the inside of the contacted fixings, and the fixings adhere to each other via the roots. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that when a thick substrate-like fixed base material is manufactured by laminating and fixing thin substrate-like fixed base materials, seeds are removed, so that various bacteria at the time of stacking and fixing are removed. It is extremely useful for preventing contamination due to the growth of. In addition, as described above, for example, when the fixed members are stacked together, and the fixed member of the type in which the fixed members are fixed again is manufactured, that the stem portion continues to elongate, This is inconvenient because the stacked substrates are pushed up with each other (need to weigh, for example). That is, by removing the seed part,
Since the stem portion is not extended at all, it is possible to make it impossible to push up the substrates.

The above "penetrable member" means a member through which a plant root can penetrate. In the present fixed body, the use of the penetrable member has roughly two meanings.

I) The first meaning is as follows.
This is a meaning as a member for separating and removing a seed portion as described herein. In this first sense, it is preferable that the penetrable member penetrates the root of the plant with as little resistance as possible and has a rigidity that can withstand at least the shearing force at the time of separating the seed portion. Specifically, a net-like material having a hole through which a plant root can penetrate, which is originally made of a material having sufficient rigidity, such as metal, plastic, cardboard, and ceramic, can be given. It is also possible to use a sheet material or the like of a material having such a rigidity that the roots of the plant can be easily pierced without having such holes as the mesh-like body. For example, water-soluble paper (meaning that paper fibers are easily dispersed when exposed to water.
A good example is the paper used in toilet paper:
The same applies hereinafter), gels, starch paste, and the like, and sheets of plant roots, stems, and ivy.

Ii) The second implication is the distribution of rooting surfaces between multiple layers by limiting the downward elongation of plant roots. This second implication is that
At the same time as using a member provided with a means for restricting the extension of the root of the plant to some extent as a penetrable member, the root of the plant penetrating the penetrable member forms a rooted surface on the lower surface of the thin object in the formwork. It is intended that the roots of the plants trapped in the penetrable member also form a rooted surface on the penetrable member. This makes it possible to produce the present fixed body having a plurality of rooted surfaces only through a single process of elongating the roots of the plant. As the penetrable member capable of satisfying the second meaning, first, metal, plastic, cardboard, ceramic, or the like which is originally provided with a limited number of holes through which plant roots can penetrate is provided. A material having rigidity can be given. By adjusting the number of holes, it is possible to adjust the degree of distribution of the plant roots on the penetrable member and on the lower part of the fine objects. In other words, if the number of holes on the penetrable member is large, the proportion of roots extending toward the lower part of the fine object increases, and if the number of holes is small, the root is trapped on the penetrable member and the rooting is performed on the member. The proportion of roots forming the surface will increase. In addition, even if it does not have such obvious pores, for example, water-insoluble paper (meaning that the paper fibers do not easily disperse when exposed to water, for example, even in the case of sanitary paper , Paper used in tissue paper, blotting paper, chemical fiber paper, towel paper, acid-resistant paper, alkali-resistant paper, etc. are also useful: the same applies hereinafter), woven fabric, non-woven fabric, mesh fabric By using such as a penetrable member, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

When the penetrable member is used as a construction surface of the fixed object, the member is functionally necessary only during manufacturing, storage, transportation, and construction, and is unnecessary after construction. It is assumed that In such a case, the material of the penetrable member, a material that can be degraded or disappeared afterwards, such as the above-described water-soluble paper, gels, starch paste, and a sheet-like root, stem, and ivy of a plant It is also possible to use a biodegradable plastic or the like in addition to a product or the like. Conversely, when a rigid material such as metal, plastic, or ceramic, or a water-insoluble paper or the like is used as the penetrable member, it is assumed that the penetrable member itself has a positive meaning. In such a case, for example, a member serving as an anchor can be added as a penetrable member, or a special design can be applied. Also, in particular, by using a lightweight material such as water-insoluble paper as the penetrable member, it is possible to make the fixed object suitable for a roof material or the like, particularly in a place where safety is important. it can.

Further, various biological elements can be added to the present fixed object. For example, in this fixed material, plant elements such as seeds and seedlings of seed plants, spores of spore plants, and the like are incorporated by embedding and the like, under conditions where the plant elements can grow,
By curing the fixed material, the incorporated plant element can be positively utilized in the fixed material.

In addition, eggs and pupae of insects (insects and arachnids) and larvae; small animals such as earthworms and animal elements such as eggs are
By incorporating into the fixed object, an environment in which insects, small animals, and the like have settled can be provided by the fixed object.

It is a matter of course that the above-mentioned biological element can be added to the installed fixed object after the application of the fixed object. The present fixed object includes an embodiment in which a rigid material is fixed to the outer surface of the thin object. The fixed object of such an embodiment is used mainly for the purpose of improving the strength of the fixed object, facilitating the installation of the fixed object, and the like (specific embodiments will be described later).

The type of the rigid material is not particularly limited, and concrete, hardened resin, hardened rubber, metal, stone, glass,
A ceramic or the like can be used, but a rigid material that can be solidified afterward, such as concrete, hardened resin, hardened rubber, etc., is generally preferable.

When the rigid material layer is fixed to the fine material layer, it is preferable to wash the fixed surface of the fine material layer once before fixing the material layer. If the material of the other substrate is a concrete material (such as mortar or concrete), it is needless to say that it is preferable to sufficiently dry the fixed surface of the fine object layer.

As the bryophytes that can be used in the present fixed matter, bryophytes naturally growing in nature can be used as they are. For example, from the initial stage of development with a total length of 2 to 3 mm, the plant length is a certain length, specifically, 2 to 3 cm.
Even the above (the upper limit is not particularly limited up to the maximum length of the plant body of the moss plant) can be used. These moss plants may be moss plants obtained by a cultivation method or a so-called cultivation method [for example, “Plant Biotechnology II”, Tokyo Kagaku Dojin: Hyundai Chemistry Special Edition 2
0, p. 39, "Culture of bryophytes" (by Ono) etc.], it is also possible to use "cultured moss", but usually moss plants obtained by a cultivation method are used. preferable.

The bryophytes can be cultivated by a known method depending on the type of the bryophytes to be used. Specifically, for example, by laying sand or the like on a pallet with good water sweeping, planting a moss plant thereon, and curing the moss plant under temperature conditions and sunshine conditions according to the type of the moss plant. A variety of moss plants can be grown.

It is also possible to sow a moss plant once grown on a pallet or a moss plant native to nature in order to grow it on a larger scale and to cure it. In this case, it is preferable to remove dirt such as sand from the moss plant and efficiently disperse the soil on the ground. In order to efficiently obtain a moss plant in which such dirt has been removed and which has been appropriately dispersed, for example, the moss plant before washing can be once washed with water and subjected to gentle centrifugation. A series of washing processes of moss plants usually involves washing
Washing → rinsing (washing step) → dehydration (slow centrifugation step) can be performed according to the usual step.

The slow centrifugation is preferably terminated when the moss plant is almost dehydrated. The rotation speed of the specific centrifugal treatment is about the same as that of a home dehydrator for washing, specifically, about 500 to 1500 rotations / minute, and is preferably performed for about 3 minutes, but is not limited thereto. is not. The washed moss plant thus obtained can be evenly dispersed and sown on the ground by a normal sieving method. This sieving method may be manual sieving or mechanical sieving using a vibrator or the like.

In particular, when sowing moss plants on a large area, for example, a movable device such as a tractor is provided with a sieving function, and the moss plants are sieved while the tractor or the like is self-propelled. In such a region, moss plants can be sown evenly and efficiently.

These bryophytes can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Also, in the present invention, moss plants having different properties intentionally, for example, by using a combination of a moss plant that prefers sunlight and a moss plant that prefers shade, the specific location of the place where the fixed object according to the present invention is constructed. Depending on the environment, it is possible to cause competition transition between moss plants.

A feature of the present fixed object that is different from other rooted fixed objects is that the moss plant is fixed via a root standing upright from the surface of the fixed object. The fixed object surface for erecting the root (hereinafter, also referred to as an erect surface) may be a rooted surface or a non-rooted surface. An embodiment in which the erecting surface is a rooted surface includes, for example, The present fixed material of the type in which only moss plants are fixed as roots is used. An embodiment in which the upright surface is a non-rooted surface includes a main fixed object of a type in which moss plants and other small soil objects are fixed as roots. "Standing up" basically means a state in which the root extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upright surface. However, this standing root
In order to capture moss plants sufficiently, the moss is usually designed to be bulky, so that the roots often have their heads hanging down by their own weight, especially near the tip.

The means for erecting the roots is not particularly limited. For example, when the moss is fixed in a formwork, a moss plant is arranged at the top of the object to be laid, and the moss plant is positioned at a certain distance from the moss plant. Therefore, rooting by a plant is performed, and the roots are elongated toward the object to be rooted and fixed by rooting, whereby a desired standing root can be provided in the fixed object. That is, some space is provided between the moss plant and the rooted plant, and in this space, the roots of the plant are usually gravitational to the rooting object, It will extend substantially vertically. While the moss plant is captured by the root hairs of this vertically elongated root,
The roots can penetrate the rooting object and form a rooting surface on the lower surface of the formwork to fix the rooting object. Finally, by removing the upper part of the rooted plant (the plant part above the seed), the present fixed matter in which the moss plant is captured by the standing root is provided. As described above, this fixed object allows the moss plant to be exposed from the beginning of construction on the construction surface, and the moss plant and the fine layer under the moss plant are erected by standing roots from rainfall and the like. Well protected. Thereby, even under severe conditions, such as outdoors, the use of the present fixed object enables the construction in which the color of the moss plant is recognized from the beginning. A more specific form of the fixed object will be described later.

[0051] The present fixed object maintains the characteristics that the rooted fixed object generally has, in addition to such unique characteristics. That is, the present fixed object can provide materials that can be used for the secondary industry and the like by an agricultural process, in a manner similar to a general anchoring fixed object. Since the root fixed material is a product manufactured using plants by focusing only on the element "rooting" of the plant, it is sufficient to manage only by focusing on the very early growth state of the plant .

Thus, if the temperature conditions for the plant roots to grow smoothly, the aeration conditions for the plants to breathe, and the supply of water for the plants to grow in a short period of time are properly adjusted, Even without troublesome illuminance management, it is possible to manufacture a fixed upholstery.

This means that a small object to be fixed is introduced into a place such as a formwork provided with a ventilation means (a ventilation hole or the like) (moss plants are placed in the lower layer again, and soil and sand are placed thereon. A mode of arranging fine objects such as granules is assumed at a high frequency). Then, mainly plant seeds of the plant are arranged thereon, and appropriate watering is performed at the initial stage. By leaving the packed formwork and the like in a general environment capable of minimum temperature control, it is possible to produce a fixed rooting material before removal of a plant with a desired rooting surface formed. it can.

In this case, in particular, the above-described penetrable member (particularly, a mode in which roots can be distributed) is interposed between the small object and the seed, and is left as described above to form a rooted surface. In addition, the plant part of the rooting fixed matter before plant removal is
Only by removing it from above the penetrable member, the desired fixed object can be manufactured.

Such a feature means, for example, that a metropolitan city is not excluded from the main place of manufacture of the fixed object just because it is manufactured in an agricultural process. That is, the fixed object can be manufactured even at one corner of a normal room. Further, since one manufacturing unit can be in a packing form as described above, the number of manufactured units can be dramatically improved by stacking a plurality of manufacturing units. These facts show the possibility that the present invention is established as “agricultural industry to be performed in a metropolitan area”. In addition, according to the present invention, as the demand for plant seeds and the like increases, it is possible to effectively utilize the agricultural land that is currently idle land for growing the seeds used in the present invention. If a cereal plant is used as a plant to be used, it is possible to improve the potential self-sufficiency of food in the country where the present invention is implemented. Further, by selecting a plant focusing only on the rooting, it is possible to provide a direction for breeding a new plant.

Further, according to the characteristics of the present fixed object, the following recycling system can be constructed. For example, when producing the fixed material, it is necessary to cure the plant, and in many cases, the culture soil is used. In the case of such an embodiment, in the manufacturing process of the present fixed material, the culture soil is left as the residual soil together with the upper part (foliage, seeds, etc.) of the cured plant. In this case,
The culture soil can be directly incorporated again into the production process of the present fixed material, or can be directly used for so-called gardening applications. In such a case, most preferably, the upper part of the cured plant alone or together with the residual soil can be reproduced as fertile mulch by disabling the fermentation step. Such a fermentation step can be carried out by a conventional method, for example, fermentation in compost or the like.

In the case where the present fixed matter is an embodiment in which the moss plant is fixed as a small object, the fixed matter is cured at the site of use, the moss plant is proliferated, and the fixed matter is recovered. (Use a new book fixation instead).
Next, the collected fixed substance is disassembled, the moss plant is collected, and used again for production of a new fixed substance. In this case, the moss plant has been grown at the site of use, and thus has grown more than at the beginning of use. Therefore, at the time of reproduction, the number of moss plants, which originally corresponded to one unit of the fixed object, has become, for example, 2 units or more, and the number of the fixed objects that can be manufactured increases during the reproduction process. . In this reproduction method, for example, the fixed object is leased with a maintenance lease system (for example, in a general home or business, as well as a wedding hall, a funeral home, a graveyard,
It can be carried out extremely usefully by utilizing it in a display of a product, etc.), thereby realizing and effectively implementing the method.

In particular, when it is desired to suitably grow moss plants, plants are planted in the gaps where the fixed objects are arranged,
It is also possible to intentionally provide shade to moss plants. In this case, the type and amount of plant to be used can be appropriately selected according to the type of moss plant and the construction environment. In addition, by implanting the plant, there is also an advantage that soil and the like in that portion can be prevented from rising by the wind.

Further, since the production process of the present fixed material as described above is very simple, it is of course possible to carry out the process by mechanization. The point is that it is only necessary to be able to manufacture a mold with the necessary packing in a flow operation, so that a complicated manufacturing machine or the like is not required.

Specifically, a "small object arrangement mechanism" for arranging small objects (including moss plants) on a formwork, a "penetrable member arrangement mechanism" for arranging a pierceable member as necessary, It has a "plant arrangement mechanism" for arranging seeds, a "watering mechanism" for watering, or a "packing mechanism" for final packing. Any machine can be used as a machine for manufacturing the fixed object. Also, the final step of removing plant parts can be mechanized and easy.
