Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ground covering material accomplishing favorable ground coverage without needing any time and labor for removal. <P>SOLUTION: The ground covering material comprises a ground-covering woven fabric obtained by knitting rush with natural yarns. The fabric laid on the ground comprises the rush and the natural yarns, and thereby naturally decays to return to the soil so as to have no need of time nor labor for clear-up work and also become compost. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a ground covering material made from coconut grass and a method for placing the ground covering material.

  In house or open-air cultivation, weeds are restrained from weeds on the ground, or the water oozes out and slips, or this water is splashed and soils footwear and clothes. In order to prevent this, some rug may be laid on the ground. Conventionally, vinyl sheets that are not breathable are often used as this rug, but if this is laid on the ground, air movement between the ground and underground is completely blocked to stop the respiration of the cultivated crop roots. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to remove unnecessary or aging, and in addition, environmental problems arise in incineration for disposal.

Therefore, in Patent Document 1 shown below, paper using paper as a covering material is shown. However, since paper decays naturally, it does not need to be removed, but it is weak in strength. It is torn when walking. Even paper is unfavorable for the roots because of its air barrier properties.
JP 2004-113178 A

  In the present invention, by using a woven fabric made of an all-natural material as a ground covering material, it is possible to save the labor of removal and to obtain a double effect of becoming compost.

  Under the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a ground covering material according to claim 1, wherein the ground covering material is formed by weaving cocoon grass with natural yarn to cover the ground. The ground covering material according to claim 5, wherein the ground to be laid is one of a place where the growth of weeds is to be suppressed, a place where water exudation is to be excluded, a field paddle and / or a paddy field. A method is provided.

  According to the means of claim 1, since the woven fabric laid on the ground is cocoon grass and natural yarn, it naturally decays and returns to the soil, so that the work of cleaning up is not necessary and composting. Moreover, if this textile of Claim 5 is laid in the place which intends to suppress the growth of weeds, the growth of the weeds under it will be suppressed physically and mechanically. Therefore, weeds do not come to flourish, and it is not necessary to spray herbicides. In addition, the fabric absorbs water if you place it where you want to eliminate water seepage. In addition to this, mulching material can be used if it is laid on a fence in the field, and walking is easier if it is laid on a fence.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The ground covering material according to the present invention is based on a woven fabric 1 knitted with natural yarn. FIG. 1 is a partial plan view of the woven fabric 1. The woven fabric 1 is obtained by weaving natural weaves into wefts 3 with a weaving machine using natural yarn as warp yarn 2. FIG. The natural thread here is a thread made of natural material, such as cotton thread or hemp thread. By the way, in the case of the weed fabric, the width of the ridge is standard, but in the present invention, a width slightly shorter than this is standard. Of course, various widths are also prepared. In addition, the fabric 1 has a long length (lengthens the warp 2) so that it can be used for use (appropriately cut and used). When the woven fabric 1 is long, the convenience of handling is considered by providing it in a state of being wound or folded in a roll at the stage of manufacture, distribution and use.

  Then, ears (or hems) 4 are formed at both ends (both edges) of the fabric 1. The ear 4 is to fold back both ends of the weeds and knit with yarn. According to this, the strength is strong and the warp yarn 2 is not frayed. In this way, if the ear 4 is formed at the end, this part 4 can be joined to bendable by joining the ear 4 and zigzag sewing both of them. , It can be laid along different surfaces. Needless to say, the yarns used here are all natural yarns as described above.

  The above woven fabric 1 is laid in various places using the characteristics. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a field in which ridges and ridges are formed. Usually, in the house or in the open field, ridges 5 and 6 are formed, and crops 7 are vegetated. Or the person walks on the fence 6 for fertilization or weeding. Since the water sent to the heel 5 oozes out from the heel 6, if it is left as it is, it slips, jumps and soils footwear and clothes, and the feet get cold. Therefore, it is suitable to lay an appropriate hygroscopic material on the ridge 6.

  Therefore, the woven fabric 1 of the present invention is laid. The woven fabric 1 has moderate air permeability with the weft 3 having an appropriate gap, so that the root of the plant under the ground on which the woven fabric 1 is laid. It does not reach the point where it completely stops breathing. On the other hand, inadequate air permeability and blocking of sunlight will suppress the growth of weeds, etc., and covering with close contact with the ground will also physically and mechanically grow weeds etc. Will be suppressed. In this respect, the spraying of harmful herbicides can be eliminated. In addition, if it decays, it will naturally return to the soil, and at that time it will be fertilizer because it is organic. In this respect, the fabric 1 is optimal as a rug for controlling weeds and preventing slipping.

  By the way, a mulching material is also laid on the upper surface of the cocoon 5 for planting seeds and seedlings of the crop 7 to promote germination and growth, to prevent frost damage and to control weeds. It can also be applied to. FIG. 3 is a perspective view in which the woven fabric 1 is laid on both the ridges 5 and 6, but the woven fabric 1 is laid on the entire surface of the ridges 5 and 6 (also on the side surface 5a of the ridge 5). Sometimes it covers the entire surface. In this case, boundary lines with different angles are prepared so as to be able to cope with the above-described bent lines. In addition, if the density of the weft 4 is made thin in the part where the crop 7 comes out from the fabric 1 on the upper surface of the cocoon 5, sowing and transplanting are easy, and germination is also easy.

  The woven fabric 1 is not limited to the cocoons 5 and 6 for weed control and anti-slip purposes. FIG. 4 is a perspective view in which the fabric 1 is laid on the ground between the trees in the orchard, but the fabric 1 may be laid under the shelf 8 or the passage 9 formed between the trees like grapes. Also, fruit trees such as apples and oysters may be laid with a fabric 1 between the trees. In particular, in a tourist orchard or the like, tourists hate that the ground is wet or grass grows, so the fabric 1 is a good rug.

It is a perspective view of the state which wound the textile fabric on the roll. It is the perspective view which spread the textiles on the bag. It is the perspective view which spread the textile fabric over the reed and reed. It is the perspective view which spread the textile under the passage and shelf of a fruit tree circle.
