Description

  The present invention relates to a plant growing mat for greening, for example, a wall surface of a building or a fence.

  Safety for passers-by on the exterior of the roof and walls that are the surface of the house, the interior and exterior of the moat that is the surface of the moat attached to the house, the fences that are installed along the roads, etc. Greening plants may be arranged and arranged for the purpose of securing or shielding the construction site from the outsider's field of view.

  For example, the present applicant discloses a method for greening a wall surface of a building in Patent Document 1. In Patent Document 1, a pocket is bulged in a convex shape at a plurality of locations on the surface side of the mat, and plants are grown by putting plants, soil, and the like in the pocket.

JP 2004-267084 A

  However, in the method of Patent Document 1, in order to form a convexly bulged portion on the surface of the mat, the portion to be bulged is locally fixed by using a binder substance or the like, and heated and pressurized. In addition to the cost and labor involved, there are problems that packing and transporting efficiency is poor due to the convex portion.

  The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems and improve water retention, thereby reducing the amount of water falling on the ground, reducing the number of irrigations, and having a simple structure and can be produced inexpensively. Is to provide.

  The plant growth mat according to the present invention for achieving the above object includes a first water retention sheet material, and a second water retention sheet material having substantially the same size as the first water retention sheet provided with a cut in a substantially horizontal direction. And sew the first and second water retention sheet materials so as to divide the cut at the center, partition a pocket for each cut, and plant a plant in the pocket. To do.

  According to the plant-growing mat according to the present invention, moisture can penetrate into the first and second water-retaining sheet materials other than the soil, and the water-retaining ability can be improved. The number of times can be reduced, and the labor of management can be greatly reduced.

  Moreover, since this plant growth mat can be manufactured simply by sewing the first and second water retaining sheet materials with a sewing machine, it can be manufactured at low cost, and the product can be efficiently packed and transported because of its flat shape. it can.

  Furthermore, the plant-growing mat is simple and movable, and can be easily moved to another place when repairing the wall surface.

The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a plant growing mat in the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view. The plant growing mat 1 in the present embodiment is made of the same material as a holding member on the front surface of a first water-retaining sheet material 2 made of a felt-like nonwoven fabric made of polyester, for example, each side of 500 mm and a thickness of 7 mm. A second water retaining sheet material 3 is attached. The second water retaining sheet material 3 is substantially the same size as the first water retaining sheet material 2 and has a plurality of horizontal cuts 4 in advance in the horizontal direction. The first and second water retaining sheet materials 2, 3 is sewn with, for example, a sewing thread 5 as indicated by a dotted line.

  Moreover, each 1st, 2nd water retention sheet | seat material 2 and 3 has a two-layer structure, respectively, as shown in FIG. The surface portions 2b and 3b are joined by a needle punch. The first and second water retention sheet materials 2 and 3 can be manufactured at low cost by using recycled polyester resin, but the first and second water retention sheet materials 2 and 3 are materials other than polyester. May be used.

  By sewing the two first and second water retention sheet materials 2 and 3 with the sewing thread 5 so as to surround one cut 4 provided in the second water retention sheet material 3, A pocket for planting a plant can be defined between the first and second water-retaining sheet materials 2 and 3. At this time, in order to increase the capacity of the pocket, it is preferable that the position of the cut 4 is adjusted to be higher than the center of the section.

  In this embodiment, the sewing thread 5 is used to sew linearly in an oblique direction with respect to the cut 4 in order to define the cut 4, but it can be sewn in the horizontal direction or triangular with respect to the cut 4. You may divide by sewing in semicircle shape and circular shape.

  If necessary, the ring metal fitting 7 is attached by making holes 6 at a plurality of positions on the upper ends of the first and second water-retaining sheet materials 2 and 3 that are sewn together.

  FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the use state using the plant growing mat 1 described above. As described above, since a pocket is defined for each cut 4 between the first and second water-retaining sheet materials 2, 3, cotton having a soil and water retention capacity in the pocket via the cut 4. Put resin, particulate matter, cloth, etc., and plant Sedum plants and flower seedlings N. Moreover, you may put the customer soil which mixed the seed of the plant instead of the seedling N in the pocket, and germinate in the pocket.

  Then, the wall surface can be greened easily by suspending the ring bracket 7 on the fence W or the like using the hook F. In the present embodiment, the upper surface portions 2b and 3b of the first and second water retaining sheet materials 2 and 3 are colored green so as to be suitable for greening, but may be colored in other colors. Moreover, although the 1st, 2nd water retention sheet | seat materials 2 and 3 were made into two layers which consist of base material part 2a, 3a and surface part 2b, 3b, it does not necessarily need to be two layers.

  Furthermore, for the surface portions 2b and 3b of the first and second water retaining sheet materials 2 and 3, a moisture permeable sheet that allows air to permeate but does not permeate water, or uses an impermeable sheet or the like as appropriate, You may use it properly according to the situation.

  Since the plant-growing mat 1 shown in the present embodiment is constituted by two first and second water retention sheet materials 2 and 3 having water retention, the first and second water retention sheet materials 2 and 3 Moisture and nutrients can permeate sufficiently, water retention can be improved, it is suitable for plant growth, the number of irrigation can be reduced, and the labor of management can be greatly reduced.

  In addition, in FIG. 1, although the plant growing mat 1 for 4 pots provided with four cuts 4 is shown, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, the 1st, 2nd water retention sheet | seat materials 2, 3 are shown. By changing the size, the number of cut lines 4, and the position of the sewing thread 5, the number of pots can be increased or the plant growing mat 1 for one pot can be obtained.

  Moreover, in the plant growing mat 1 in the present embodiment, it is suspended from the fence W or the like via the ring fitting 7, but when the strength is insufficient in the ring fitting 7, the first and second water retaining sheets. A metal rod or the like is sewn to the upper ends of the materials 2 and 3, and hooks are attached, and the lower and middle portions of the first and second water-retaining sheet materials 2 and 3 are attached with anti-vibration ring brackets and the like. It may be provided.

  The plant-growing mat 1 in this embodiment can be moved simply by removing it from the hook F or the like, and can be easily moved when it is desired to repair the wall surface or to greenen another part. As described above, since the plant growing mat 1 is easy to move, for example, when the plant growing mat 1 with sufficient plant roots attached to a temporary enclosure at a construction site is cured at another location, the construction site Plant growth time in is reduced.

  Further, by sticking a synthetic resin or rubber waterproof sheet to the back surface or the periphery of the first water retention sheet material 2, it is possible to prevent moisture from oozing from the first water retention sheet material 2 to the back surface. The plant growing mat 1 can also be attached to the etc.

It is a front view of the plant growth mat of an example. It is sectional drawing. It is a perspective view of a plant breeding mat in a state where a seedling is planted and attached to a fence. It is a front view of the plant growth mat of a modification. It is a top view of the plant growth mat of other modifications.
