Description

  The present invention relates to a bonsai material for herbs such as vegetables made from branches and leaves cut from green trees, and a bonsai method using the same.

  In recent years, gardening has been actively carried out, and accompanying this, the cultivation of vegetables at home is also increasing. Usually, when cultivating vegetables in cultivation containers such as planters, it is common to mix the soil for improvement such as humus with the basic soil such as black soil at an appropriate ratio to create the culture soil and perform appropriate fertilization. is there.

  On the other hand, bonsai does not enjoy the harvest of crops as in the vegetable cultivation described above, but focuses on appreciating the sophisticated branching of plants in a small space in potted plants. They do not enjoy short-term cultivation like plants and flowers, but enjoy the artificial natural beauty created by the shape of planted trees created by long-term shaping. Therefore, it can be said that the cultivation purpose of a plant is different between bonsai and vegetable cultivation.

  When making bonsai, it is important to pay attention to soil, planting, irrigation, fertilization, shaping, storage, and pest control, but especially important soil is soft on red soil. A mixture of sand in an appropriate ratio is known.

  In recent years, focusing on the nutritional components of pruned branches and leaves in green trees, compost is produced from the pulverized product by crushing the pruned branches and the like, and the compost has been used as a soil improver, for example, In the cultivation of flowers, etc., the compost is used as an organic material. In the case of such an organic material, the C / N ratio is usually in the range of 30 to 35, and when applied to a field, it is used in combination with nitrogen fertilizer, nitrogen-rich livestock manure compost, or the like.

On the other hand, when compost made from the pruned branches and leaves is used as soil for raising seedlings or soil for flower pots, about 30 to 40% of the compost is mixed.

  Conventionally, conifers and broad-leaved trees have been used as bonsai, and there are many elderly men who make bonsai, but with the recent gardening boom and mind-healing orientation etc. New bonsai, such as mini bonsai, has come to be made with a sense.

  However, in the domestic cultivation of vegetables, the purpose is to harvest crops, and it has been practically difficult to cultivate vegetables as plants and grow them for a long time.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a herbaceous bonsai material that can easily produce bonsai such as vegetables as a new bonsai, and a herbaceous bonsai method using the same.

  The inventor of the present invention sown and seeded vegetable seeds using a material obtained by pulverizing and composting green tree branches and leaves such as pruned branches and leaves (hereinafter referred to as "green tree and leaf compost compost"), and further By properly irrigating the vegetable seedlings that were cultivated using the composted pulverized material as it is and cultivating them for a long period of time, the size of the leaves of the vegetable seedlings and the healthy development of the stems and roots occurred, resulting in the final It discovered that it could grow like a bonsai, and completed this invention shown below.

In the present application, the bonsai of herbs such as vegetables, etc. means that the seedlings of vegetables etc. do not grow up and become almost the same height, the leaves are downsized compared to the case of normal planting, etc. It means that it becomes like a bonsai tree when the part hardens, the root develops soundly, and depending on the type of herb, small flowering or fruiting occurs.

  The present invention according to claim 1, after pulverizing the branches and leaves cut from the green tree, depositing the pulverized product, turning it one or more times, fermenting and ripening while maintaining the pulverized product at a predetermined temperature It is a herbaceous bonsai material mainly composed of composted green tree leaves and leaves obtained by the above method.

  Branches and leaves cut from green trees may be cut from trees, especially for herbaceous bonsai, but if branches and leaves generated in large quantities by pruning trees in street trees, parks, gardens, etc. are used, Effective use is planned.

  The present invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the fermentation temperature of the bonsai material according to claim 1 is in the range of 60 to 70 ° C.

  The present invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the bonsai material according to claim 1 or claim 2 is characterized in that an inorganic soil conditioner and / or organic material is added to the compost of green tree branches and leaves. .

  Examples of the inorganic soil conditioner include vermiculite, pearlite, and isolite.

  Examples of the organic material include compost made from materials other than green trees such as peat moss, bark compost, cow dung and chicken manure compost, or rice husk. Since the growth of herbs is basically determined according to the amount of composted green tree leaves and leaves, in order to prevent the herbs from growing higher than that, the organic material has almost no fertilizing effect. It is preferred to use no peat moss or bark compost.

  And the said peat moss, bark compost, or an inorganic soil improvement material improves a water | moisture retention and air permeability.

  The present invention described in claim 4 is a herbaceous bonsai method using the bonsai material according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the bonsai material is mixed with soil. Instead, only a bonsai material is put in a pot, and seeds of herbaceous seeds are sown in the pot, and then irrigated to germinate, grow seedlings and bonsai.

  The present invention described in claim 5 is a herbaceous bonsai method using the bonsai material according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the bonsai material is mixed with soil. Instead, put only the bonsai material into a seedling container, seed the herbaceous seeds in the container and irrigate them to germinate and grow seedlings, then cultivate the seedlings of the herbaceous seedlings in the seedling container The plant is transplanted to a pot and then irrigated to bonsai herbaceous seedlings.

As described above, it is generally used to cultivate pruned branches and leaves of green trees and compost and mix them with soil for use in raising seedlings and cultivation, but the inventors of the present application pulverized pruned branches and leaves By using fermented green tree branch and leaf compost without mixing with soil, the length of seedlings such as vegetables is suppressed,
Furthermore, it was found that herbaceous seedlings such as vegetables can be bonsaid by transplanting the seedlings into pots without properly planting them and appropriately managing irrigation for a long period of time.

Pruning materials such as pruned branches and leaves of green trees are the living body of plants, not fallen leaves or branches,
This is a state in which nutrient elements are accumulated in the living body, and the fermented product is used as compost. And the progress of composting breaks down the sugars and proteins in the pruned wood, decomposes hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin in this order, and the activities of mesophilic bacteria and fungi, thermophilic bacteria and filamentous fungi become vigorous. Aging progresses. For this reason, composted products contain a large amount of nutrient elements necessary for plant growth in a water-soluble form, and retain enough nutrients to allow plant seedlings to grow without additional fertilizers. .

  In the bonsai method according to claim 4 and claim 5, stems and branches of herbaceous plants such as vegetables grow and grow to a certain height according to the amount of composted green tree leaves and leaves placed in a container or pot. The stems are then bonsaied without growing.

  The present invention according to claim 6 is a method of separately seeding seeds in a seeding tray in the bonsai planting method according to claim 4 or claim 5.

  In the bonsai method according to claim 5 or claim 6, the present invention according to claim 7 is an inorganic system in which only the green tree branches and leaves compost is put into a seedling container and a herbaceous seedling is transplanted into a pot. A soil improvement material and / or an organic material is added.

  As described above, the inorganic soil conditioner and the like are to be put into a pot as needed in order to improve the air permeability, water retention and the like in the pot. Since it does not contribute to the growth of branches, the length of the herbaceous stems and the like corresponds to the amount of composted green tree leaves and leaves in the pot as described above.

  The present invention described in claim 8 relates to the bonsai planting method according to any one of claims 4 to 7, wherein the green tree branches and leaves are pulverized corresponding to the weight loss due to microbial decomposition of the green tree branches and leaves compost in the pot. It is characterized by replenishing compost.

  The present invention according to claim 9 is characterized in that the herbs are vegetables.

  According to the herbaceous bonsai material of the present invention and the bonsai method using the same, nutrient elements necessary for germination and seedling of herbaceous seeds such as vegetables are supplied, and green tree branches and leaves placed in a pot The growth of the stems, branches and leaves of the seedling is controlled according to the amount of composted compost, and can be easily bonsaied. Therefore, it is possible to create a new bonsai called a bonsai of herbaceous vegetables such as vegetables, and as mentioned above, it is easy to work and manage, so even those who do not have detailed knowledge about bonsai mentioned above. There is an advantage that you can enjoy bonsai such as vegetables.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist thereof.

  First, an embodiment of manufacturing a green tree branch and leaf compost compost that is a main material of a bonsai material will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, for example, about 3 cm of pruned branches and leaves that are generated when the branches and leaves of a green tree are pruned (1). Pulverize (2) with a commercially available tab grinder having an outer edge of the hole, and deposit (3) the pulverized product so that the fermentation temperature of the deposit is in the range of 60 to 70 ° C. After turning over several times and ripening and fermenting (ripe) for about 10 months (4), this was passed through a sieve of about 5 mm eyes (5), and the passing material was obtained as a composted green tree leaf and leaf compost. .

    Table 1 shows the results of analyzing the amount of nutrient elements contained in the green tree branch leaf compost compost.

  As shown in Table 1, since the pH of the composted green tree leaf compost is 7.3 (neutral), it is not necessary to adjust the pH of the composted green tree leaf compost. And the green tree leaf and leaf compost compost contains a large amount of potassium, calcium and magnesium, which are essential elements for plant growth, in a water-soluble form. Moreover, C / N ratio is 16.5 and has the same characteristics as fully matured compost. Therefore, the green tree branch and leaf pulverized compost is capable of mineralizing nitrogen during the cultivation period of vegetable seedlings, and has the ability to supply nitrogen, which is an essential element.

  Next, a vegetable bonsai planting method using the above-mentioned composted green tree leaves and leaves will be described. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a cell tray (21) is used and each seedling cell (22) is appropriately ( Add a certain amount of composted green tree leaves and leaves (23) that is moist). That is, without mixing with soil, only the green tree branch leaf compost compost (23) is put into each seedling cell (22). Then, each seedling cell (22) containing only the green tree leaf and leaf compost compost (23) is sown and then watered.

  In the above case, other organic materials such as peat moss, bark compost, and rice husk may be mixed in the green tree branch and leaf compost compost. In addition, during the raising seedling period, the bonsai material of the present embodiment using pruned branches and leaves as a raw material is laid on the bottom of the cell tray (21) to avoid excessive drying of the seedling, When the seedlings are brought into contact with the ground (soil), the seedlings grow greatly in the cell tray (21) without sufficient root pot formation in the seedling cell (22) of the cell tray (21). End up. In order to avoid such a situation, a certain interval may be provided between the bottom surface of the cell tray (21) and the ground (air pruning).

  Next, the vegetable seedling (25) grown in the cell tray (21) was transplanted into a pot (26). At this time, since the volume of the pot (26) is larger than the volume of the seedling cell (22) in the cell tray (21), the inorganic soil conditioner (27) is added to the pot (26 ). After that, irrigation is periodically performed, and when the amount of composted green tree leaf compost decreased with the decomposition of microorganisms, a new compost compost composted with new green tree leaf (23) is further supplemented, and finally the vegetable I got a bonsai.

  Next, an example of bonsai planting for cherry tomatoes and peppers will be described.

  Using a 72-hole cell tray, a certain amount of the above-mentioned comminuted compost of green tree leaves and leaves in an appropriate moisture state (so that it feels wet) is put into the seedling cell. Next, seeds of bell pepper and cherry tomato were sown in a seedling cell (mini tomato was sown on March 7, 2003, pepper was sown on March 18, 2003), and watering was performed periodically. After about one month, the green pepper and cherry tomato seedlings grown in the cell tray were transplanted into a pot together with the composted green tree leaves and leaves in the seedling cell (the mini tomatoes were transplanted on April 6, 2003. Transplanted on April 29, 2015), and at this time, an inorganic soil conditioner was added in an amount corresponding to the volume increase of the pot relative to the seedling cell. Thereafter, as a result of regular management such as irrigation, on October 28, 2003, about 6 to 7 months after the transplantation, cherry tomatoes were bonsaid as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 1, it was bonsai and had small fruits. Moreover, the bonsai of the said cherry tomato was about 10 cm high, and the bell pepper was about 8 cm high.

  In the above-described embodiments and examples, seeding and raising seedlings in a cell tray and then transplanted to a pot, but sowing may be performed separately in a seeding tray, and sowing, raising seedling and bonsaiization are all performed in a pot. In some cases.

  According to the herbaceous bonsai material of the present invention and the bonsai method using the same, bonsai such as vegetables that have not existed before can be obtained, so that a new field of bonsai can be developed.

It is a figure which shows the manufacturing process of the green tree branch leaf pulverized compost in embodiment. It is a figure which shows the bonsai formation method in embodiment. It is a photograph which shows the bonsai state of a cherry tomato. It is a photograph which shows the bonsai state of a bell pepper.
