Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple plantation device having improved air permeability of soil and promoting the growth of a plant while saving the trouble of watering. <P>SOLUTION: The plantation device includes a water-holding water-permeable concrete block 1 obtained by hardening a freshly mixed concrete obtained by mixing pumice, portland cement and water in a plate shape, a cloth water-feeding core 2 for introducing the water by capillary phenomena and passing through-holes opened in the concrete block 1, cloth 3 of the same kind as the cloth, laid on the concrete block 1, a layer 4 of the sand of the pumice formed on the surface of the cloth 3, and a receiving dish 7 for holding the concrete blocks 1 at an interval formed by spacers 5. The plantation device grows the plant in the layer 4 of the sand of the pumice by supplying the water stored in the receiving dish 7 through the water-feeding core 2 and the cloth 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a planting device that enjoys gardening indoors, and is configured to increase soil permeability, improve root tension, promote growth, and reduce watering labor.

The soil layer is formed by laminating the bottom of the soil layer, the moisturizing tank, and the water storage tank in this order, and the water in the water storage tank is evaporated to the moisturizing tank and condensed on the bottom of the soil layer. The planter which transfers water to is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.
JP 2006-325460 A

  In such a conventional planter, if the humidity and temperature of the moisturizing tank are not properly maintained, the environment is not suitable for plant growth, so the water level and temperature of the water tank, the humidity and temperature of the moisturizing tank, etc. are controlled. It must be a large-scale device.

  Then, this invention was considered in order to provide the simple planting apparatus which accelerates | stimulates the growth of a plant while improving the air permeability of soil and does not require the effort of watering.

  The planting device of the present invention is based on a water retaining and water permeable concrete block obtained by solidifying a concrete mix of pumice, Portland cement and water, and a capillary phenomenon inserted through a hole formed in the concrete block. A water supply core for the cloth to conduct water, the same kind of cloth laid on the surface of the concrete block, a layer of pumice sand formed on the surface of the cloth, and a tray for holding the concrete block at an interval The water stored in the tray is supplied to the pumice sand layer through the water supply core and the cloth, and the plant is grown on the pumice sand layer.

  According to the planting apparatus of the present invention, a pumice sand layer is used as a substrate with a water-retaining and water-permeable concrete block as a substrate, and water in the saucer is supplied to the soil on the water supply core and the concrete block using a capillary phenomenon. Since it is supplied to the pumice sand layer on which the plant is planted through the cloth, it has good air permeability to the root of the plant and can give the plant an appropriate amount of water, and it grows with good root tension. Can be saved and watering effort can be reduced.

  As shown in the longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 1, the planting apparatus of the present invention makes a water-retaining / permeable concrete block 1 in which green concrete mixed with pumice, Portland cement, and water is hardened into a plate shape. .

  This water-retaining / permeable concrete block 1 is composed of 50 to 62% by weight of pumice having a particle size of 3 to 20 mm and 50 to 38% by weight of Portland cement without adding an additive to supplement strength, and the total weight is 100%. The ready-mixed concrete obtained by spraying 40 to 50% by weight of water with respect to the blended composition was put into a mold and hardened into a plate shape having a thickness of 4 cm and a side length of about 40 to 45 cm. The size of the water retaining / permeable concrete block 1 is set to a weight (about 5 kg) that can be easily carried by one person, but may be set appropriately.

  A hole is made in the central portion of the pumice concrete block 1 and placed on the tray 7 through the spacer 5.

  A strip of non-woven fabric made of synthetic resin fibers is inserted as a water supply core 2 into a hole in the center of the pumice concrete block block 1.

  Further, a non-woven fabric 3 made of synthetic resin fiber is laid on the surface of the pumice concrete block 1 including the water supply core 2, and a pumice sand layer 4 is laminated thereon to form a planting soil.

  When water is put into the pan 7, the water penetrates to the pumice sand layer 4 by the capillary phenomenon of the water supply core 2 and the nonwoven fabric 3, and the water is retained in the pumice sand layer 4 and the pumice concrete block 1. Cultivate. And if the water of the saucer 7 decreases, it should just replenish water, and excess water will fall to the saucer 7 from the lower surface of the pumice concrete block 1.

  When various plants are planted in the pumice sand layer 4, the bottom surface of the pumice concrete block 1 is exposed, so that the air permeability is improved and the roots are well-stretched, and the pumice sand layer 4 is rooted. To the pumice concrete block 1 to promote plant growth.

  The thickness of the pumice sand layer 4 is determined according to the type of plant to be cultivated. For example, when cultivating natural turf, the frame 6 is not necessary because it may be thin, but when a certain amount of thickness is required, a frame 6 is provided as shown to provide a pumice sand layer 4. Should be enclosed.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the planting apparatus of this invention.
