  A conventional horticultural pot called a polypot is made of a sheet-like member and has a structure in which a drainage hole is formed on the bottom of the bowl. Generally, such simple pots are used in the stage of cultivation and distribution until the plants are sold at garden stores, etc., and customers such as garden stores, who are the final consumers, transfer the plants in the pots to flower beds, etc. It was disposed of at the time of replanting.

  In addition, it is a flowerpot for cultivating a plant, and the technology that enables taking out the outside of the pot without damaging the root of the plant by dividing the cylindrical portion of the rigid container made of synthetic resin into two in the vertical direction is It is already known (for example, see Utility Model Document 1).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 01-17149

  With the recent gardening boom, plant seedlings such as annuals and perennials are planted in simple horticultural pots (hereinafter simply referred to as simple pots) and are arranged in large quantities at the storefronts of horticultural shops. Usually, a user who has purchased such a seedling planted the seedling from a simple pot and planted it in another pot or flower bed. However, the work of taking out and replanting the plant so as not to break the soil from the simple pot and not to damage the roots is a difficult task for beginners, although it depends on the state of the soil. In addition, since the empty simple bowl has a three-dimensional cylindrical shape with a bottom, there is a problem that a space is required for disposal and it is difficult to discard.

  In addition, if the user grows annual grass etc. only for one season and then disposes of the plant, or if the planting work is to be performed simply, the plant is not replanted from a simple pot to a flower bed, etc. There is a case where a simple pot is buried in a flower bed and cultivated while the plant is planted in the pot. In such a case, if only a small hole for draining is formed on the bottom surface of the simple pot, there is a problem that the root of the plant is difficult to extend out of the simple pot and a good cultivation state cannot be obtained.

  This invention was made in order to solve the above problems, and provides a simple gardening pot that can be easily replanted without damaging the seedlings in the simple pot. Objective. Moreover, it aims at providing the simple pot for gardening which can be cultivated so that a sufficient root can be stretched without taking out the seedlings in a simple pot from a pot. Furthermore, it aims at providing the simple pot for gardening which is not bulky at the time of disposal.

  The simple pot for gardening according to the present invention is a simple pot for gardening constituted by a sheet-like member and comprising a pot bottom part and a side face part of the pot that stands up surrounding the outer periphery of the pot bottom part, and in the plane of the pot bottom part, the above A bottom break line formed along the outer periphery of the pot bottom is provided. The break line is formed by, for example, a perforated cut or a continuous or intermittent thin portion.

  Moreover, the gardening pot according to the present invention is a gardening pot as described above, and at an arbitrary interval in the vertical direction so as to reach the bottom breaking line from the upper end of the bowl side surface to the bottom. It is provided with two side surface break lines arranged in parallel.

  Furthermore, the gardening pot according to the present invention is a gardening pot as described above, and is provided with a side opening forming break line for forming an opening on the pot side part. .

  According to the simple horticultural pot of the present invention, the pot bottom can be partially removed along the bottom break line, so that the plant can be planted in the flower bed etc. with the simple pot still in the pot. Even plants can fully root from a simple pot bottom. Moreover, since the soil in the pot is less likely to collapse at the time of replanting and there is no worry of damaging the roots, subsequent good cultivation becomes possible.

  In addition, along the side part break line formed in the pot side part, the pot side part can be cut in a strip shape in the vertical direction, making it easy to replant the plant, and in a state where the simple pot is developed in a plane Since it can be disposed of by stacking a plurality of sheets, there is an effect that it is not bulky and is easy to dispose. Even when recycling used simple bowls, it is easy to remove impurities adhering to the bowl by spreading it in a plane, and it is easy to process by stacking multiple sheets. There is.

  Furthermore, according to the horticultural simple pot of this invention, the side face of the pot can be partially cut off along the breaking line for forming the side opening to form the side opening. The plant roots can be stretched laterally from this side opening, and water and nutrients can be taken into the pot from the side opening, making the plant even better. A cultivated state.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
A simple gardening pot according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 (a) is a perspective view showing a simple gardening pot (simple bowl) 1 according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this simple gardening pot 1 includes a bottom part 2 and a bottom part 2 of this bowl. The bowl bottom part 2 is provided with a drainage hole 4 on the bowl bottom part 2. Such a simple bowl 1 is comprised by thin sheet-like members, such as a vinyl sheet, for example. A perforated bottom break line 5 a is provided in the bottom surface along the outer periphery of the pot bottom 2. Further, two perforated side surface break lines 10a and 10b are arranged in parallel at an arbitrary interval in the vertical direction so as to reach the bottom break line 5a from the upper end portion of the bowl side surface portion 3 through the lower end.

  A break line here is a linear part on the simple bowl 1 which can be torn if needed, and the perforation-like cut is given. The bottom break line 5a and the side face break lines 10a and 10b can be formed at the same time as the simple bowl 1 molding by previously arranging protrusions for forming perforations in the mold in advance. is there. As another method, after forming the simple bowl 1, it is possible to form a perforated break line by intermittently making cuts. Note that these break lines can be realized as a linear portion in which a sheet-like member is continuously or intermittently thinned, instead of perforated cuts.

  Further, a U-shaped cut 6a is formed at a position from the center of the bowl bottom so as to contact the bottom break line 5a. A bottom knob portion 7a is formed by the notch 6a, and the bottom knob portion 7a is surrounded by the bottom break line 5a by being pulled along the bottom break line 5a while being held by being pinched with a finger. The portion (corresponding to a bottom member 2c described later), that is, most of the pot bottom 2 can be removed.

  In addition, the two side surface break lines 10a and 10b are provided with cuts 8a and 8b which are obliquely formed at the upper end portion of the bowl side surface portion 3 so that the distance therebetween is widened toward the upper end portion. . A portion located between the cuts 8 a and 8 b in the upper end portion of the bowl side surface portion 3 becomes the side surface knob portion 9. A part of the bowl side face part 3 can be cut out in a band shape along the two side face breaking lines 10a and 10b by holding the side knob part 9 with a finger or the like and pulling it toward the bowl bottom part 2 side. It is possible to develop the remaining bowl side surface portion 3 into a planar shape.

  When planting a seedling of a plant planted in such a simple pot 1 in a cultivation place such as a flower bed, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), for example, so as to wrap the entire simple pot 1 with one hand, The contents, such as soil, are held without breaking, and the bottom member 2c is cut along the bottom break line 5a with the other hand to remove the bottom member 2c surrounded by the bottom break line 5a. At this time, a bottom opening 2a having a shape along the bottom breaking line 5a is formed at the bottom of the simple bowl 1, and only the bottom peripheral edge 2b is left along the outer periphery of the bottom. Next, the simple pot 1 is buried in a hole dug in advance in a cultivation place such as a flower bed, and further covered with soil and planted.

  In this way, planting the simple pot 1 together with the flower bed etc. with the plant (including the plant ground part 11a and the plant root 11b) planted in the simple pot 1 hurts the plant root 11b in the pot. Good planting becomes possible. Moreover, since the bottom opening 2a having a sufficient size is provided, a favorable cultivation state can be obtained without hindering the growth of the plant root 11b. In addition, in FIG. 2, although the root 11b of the plant has shown the state extended below from the bottom of a pot, this shows how to stretch the root at the time of cultivation.

  Moreover, at the end of cultivation of a plant such as annual grass, it is possible to easily dig up the whole simple pot 1 by holding the stem portion of the plant above-ground part 11a by holding it by hand and pulling it upward. . Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the bowl side face part 3 can be cut open by holding the side knob part 9 and pulling downward, and a plurality of the removed simple bowls 1 are expanded in a plane. Can be disposed of in a compact and compact manner.

  Also, in the case of perennials that require wintering, plant a simple pot 1 with the planting method shown in Fig. 2 (a) and cultivate it outdoors. Move to a place where the temperature and temperature can be controlled. When digging up using a scoop or the like, since the simple bowl 1 is attached around the root, it is easy to dig up only the necessary part, and it is easy to work. Not only the winter but also other digging operations can be performed in the same way.

  In addition, by planting a plant in a flower bed or a planter with the plant still planted in the simple pot 1, a plant that needs to be provided with a lot of water and a plant that cannot be supplied with a lot of water are in the same flower bed or planter. Even if planted close to the inside, it can be cultivated well. That is, without providing a partition or the like in the flower bed or the planter, the simple pot 1 serves as a partition, and the amount of water given to each plant can be individually adjusted.

  In the simple bowl 1, the bottom break line 5 a is provided along the outer periphery in the plane of the bowl bottom 2. The bottom break line 5a may be provided on the outer periphery of the pot bottom portion 2, but may be formed at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the outer periphery, that is, inside the outer periphery. If the bottom break line 5a is formed on the inner side of the outer periphery, the bottom break line may be applied when a load is applied to the bottom of the bowl or when an impact is applied to the vicinity of the outer periphery of the bowl bottom, compared to the case of forming on the outer periphery. 5a becomes more difficult because it is difficult to break carelessly. Moreover, there also exists an advantage that the intensity | strength of the whole bowl can be left to some extent by leaving the bottom-surface outer peripheral edge part 2b. Furthermore, if the thickness of the bottom peripheral edge part 2b is formed thicker than the other bowl side face part 3, a stronger simple bowl 1 can be obtained.

  1A illustrates the case where the notch 6a for forming the bottom knob portion 7a is in contact with the bottom break line 5a. However, as shown in FIG. A notch 6b is made in the vicinity of the breaking line 5a and not in contact with the bottom breaking line 5a and in a region surrounded by the bottom breaking line 5a (position on the inner diameter side of the bottom breaking line 5a). The knob portion 7b may be configured. The U-shaped cuts 6a and 6b are opened as shown in FIG. 1 (c) in addition to arranging the open ends in the circumferential direction as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b). The ends can also be arranged in the radial direction (notch 6c. The notch 6c constitutes the bottom knob portion 7c). The orientation of the open ends of the cuts 6a to 6c is adjusted according to the size of the simple bowl 1 and the shape of the bowl bottom.

  As described above, it is desirable that the bottom knob portion 7a is disposed inside the bottom break line 5a. If the bottom knob portion 7a is disposed outside the bottom break line 5a, the bottom knob portion 7a protrudes outward from the bottom of the bowl. Since it is flexible, it can be considered that it protrudes from the bottom of the bowl when the bowl is deformed. In this kind of simple bowl, since many bowls are densely arranged in the tray during transportation and display, if the bottom knob portion 7a protrudes, it will be caught by the next bowl when the bowl is lifted. For example, it may break (bottom) unexpectedly. If the bottom knob portion 7a is arranged on the inner side, such bottom out can be prevented.

  Further, if the bottom knob portion 7a is arranged inside the bottom break line 5a, the bottom opening 2a can be made as wide as possible, leaving the necessary bottom peripheral edge 2b. On the other hand, if the bottom knob portion 7a is provided outside the bottom fracture line 5a, the bottom fracture line 5a must be disposed closer to the center of the bowl bottom portion 2 by the amount of the bottom knob portion 7a formation region. The bottom opening 2a becomes small.

  Furthermore, as another example, as shown in FIG. 1 (d), another bottom break line 5b is provided on the inner diameter side from the bottom break line 5a by the width of the bottom knob 7a. The simple bowl 1 is formed so that the breaking lines 5a and 5b are located on the extension of the end of the U-shaped cut 6a arranged with the open end facing in the circumferential direction. In this case, the bottom portion 2 can be cut out along the two bottom break lines 5a and 5b by pinching and peeling the bottom surface knob portion 7a formed by the cut 6a.

  In the above description, the incisions 6a to 6c provided in the bowl bottom 2 are U-shaped, but other shapes such as a V-shape may be used as long as they can be held by a fingertip or the like. It goes without saying that it is possible. Further, if necessary, a planting operation by an operator can be made simpler by providing a projection or the like for preventing slipping at the center portion of the bottom surface knob portions 7a to 7c.

  Next, a procedure for planting a plant seedling in a flower bed or the like by another method using the simple pot 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The planting method described above was a method in which the pot bottom 2 of the simple pot 1 was partially removed and buried in the soil together with the pot, but here, a method of replanting so that the simple pot 1 is completely removed. State (not shown).

  First, a part (bottom member 2c) of the pot bottom portion 2 is completely removed along the bottom break line 6a of the simple pot 1 in which plant seedlings or the like are planted, or the end portion of the bottom break line 6a is not broken. The other parts are left out and the bottom member 2c is connected to the bowl side surface 2 side. Here, work is carried out by putting a hand on the bottom of the bowl so that the soil does not fall from the bottom of the bowl and so that the soil in the bowl does not collapse.

  Next, a part of the bowl side face part 3 is removed in a strip shape along the side face break lines 10a and 10b, so that the bowl side face part 3 can be developed. Also at this time, the operator performs the work while adjusting the shape of the simple bowl 1 so that the soil does not spill out from the cut side of the bowl side surface portion 3 or the bowl shape is crushed and the soil in the bowl does not collapse. Here, if only one side portion break line is provided, the pot must be opened to the left and right when the bowl is deployed, and the entire bowl is deformed and the soil is liable to collapse. By providing the breaking line, it is possible to remove the part of the bowl side surface 3 in a band shape by holding the side knob portion 9 and pulling downward without breaking the shape of the whole bowl as described above. , There is an advantage that roots are hard to hurt.

  Next, place the seedlings together with the simple pots 1 in the holes that have been dug in advance in the flower bed or the like to be replanted, and refill the soil around the simple pots 1 as necessary to stabilize the simple pots 1 Arrange. Then, by holding the upper end of the pot side surface portion 3 of the simple pot 1 arranged in the flower bed with a finger or the like, and gently pulling it out to the ground, the plant seedling and the soil that is the contents of the pot in the flower bed It becomes possible to remove the simple bowl 1 promptly in a state in which the is left. Thereafter, if necessary, the planting is completed by covering with more soil and watering.

  If such a simple pot 1 that can be deployed is used, the contents of the pot can be protected by the simple pot 1 until the planting stage, so that it can be replanted without worrying about damaging the roots. Since 1 can be easily removed, a favorable cultivation state can be obtained without hindering subsequent growth of the plant.

  1 and 2, the simple bowl 1 provided with the side part break lines 10a and 10b is illustrated. For example, the bottom part 5a (or 5a and 5b) is provided on the simple bowl 1 and the side part is provided. Even as the simple pot 1 without the breaking lines 10a, 10b, it is possible to remove the bottom surface member 2c and plant the entire simple pot 1 and easily perform good planting, and after that a good cultivation state Obtainable.

  In addition, the simple bowl 1 uses the light and thin sheet-like member which consists of various raw materials. For example, a flexible sheet-like member made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polyamide, polystyrene, polypropylene, or vinyl chloride can be used. Moreover, the sheet-like member which consists of the raw material (organic fertilizer material) which mixed the cow dung which becomes a fertilizer or chicken dung, and a cocoon etc. can also be used. Even when the simple bowl 1 is formed using an organic fertilizer material, the simple bowl 1 can be formed using a mold or the like after first forming the material into a thin sheet like the vinyl or the like. Furthermore, a sheet-like member in which a liquid organic fertilizer is soaked in a pulp material such as waste paper can also be used. If the simple pot 1 made of the organic fertilizer material thus formed is used, when the seedlings are planted in the flower bed or the like together with the pot, the pot becomes a fertilizer, which helps to grow the plant and obtain a good cultivation state. In the case of using the simple pot 1 made of such a pulp material or organic fertilizer material, the simple pot 1 is soiled after plant cultivation, and thus does not need to be disposed of. Therefore, the side surface portion break lines 10a and 10b may not be provided on the bowl side surface portion 3.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown to Fig.3 (a), in the simple bowl 1 by this Embodiment 2, in addition to the bottom part breaking line 5a and the side part breaking lines 10a and 10b, arbitrary positions to the half height of the bowl side part 1 In addition, a perforated side opening forming break line 12a is provided. When a part of the bowl side surface portion 3 is cut along the side opening forming break line 12a and a portion surrounded by the perforation is removed, as shown in FIG. 3B, the side surface opening portion 12 (side surface opening The member removed to form the portion 12 can be formed as a side member 12c). The side opening 12 is formed in the same manner after the bottom opening 12 is formed when a plant is planted together with the simple pot 1.

  The side opening 12 is provided at a position from half to bottom (up to 1 / 2h) of the height (h) of the entire bowl. This is because the plant roots tend to grow downward and grow well in the lower half of the pot. Further, the shape of the breaking line 12a for forming the side opening is a horizontally long shape surrounding the predetermined area (see the shape of the side member 12c in FIG. 2B), so that the side opening 12 becomes a horizontally long hole. The plant root 11c extending from the pot can be efficiently extended outside. In addition, when the plant is planted in a place where there is no growth place in the depth direction, by providing the side opening 12, the root can be grown in the lateral direction and a good cultivation state can be obtained. At the time of planting, if necessary, the bottom surface member 2c can be removed along the bottom fracture line 5a to form a bottom surface opening 2a.

  Moreover, as shown to Fig.3 (a), the part located in the both ends of the breaking line 12a for side-surface opening part formation is not made into perforation shape, but is made into the notch 12b, The part of this notch 12b is hold | maintained The side member 12c is peeled off, and the side opening 12 can be easily formed.

  In addition, in FIG. 3, although the example of the simple bowl 1 which has formed the side part fracture line 10a, 10b in the bowl side part 2 was shown, when it is not necessary to expand the simple bowl 1 at the time of disposal, etc. The simple bowl 1 provided with only the bottom portion breaking line 5a and the side opening forming breaking line 12a without using the side portion breaking lines 10a and 10b may be used.

  Further, in FIG. 3, an example in which the laterally long side opening 12 is provided at four places (2 rows and 2 columns) per bowl is shown, but it is also possible to have 2 places (1 row and 2 columns). The shape, size, and number of openings can be changed according to the type of plant to be planted. Of course, it is possible to open and use the necessary number of the plurality of side surface opening forming breaking lines 12a.

It is the perspective view and bottom view of the simple pot for gardening by Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the cultivation state of the horticultural simple pot by Embodiment 1 of this invention, and a discard state. It is a perspective view which shows the simple pot for gardening by Embodiment 2 of this invention, and a cultivation state.
