Description

  The present invention relates to a horticulture soil in a container that can be easily transferred to a flowerpot or the like without soiling the hand and can easily enjoy horticulture.

  Plant planting and replanting require several types of soils and fertilizers. Conventionally, home gardening soils and fertilizers have been sold in 5L, 10L or 20L capacity bags.

  Household horticultural soil and fertilizers that are sold in these large-capacity bags are bulky and heavy, so a series of operations to purchase and take home multiple types of soil and fertilizers requires labor. This is particularly difficult for elderly people who have a large proportion of gardening enthusiasts.

  Also, if you try to transfer these household horticultural soil and fertilizer from the large-capacity bags in which they are stored to planters such as flower pots, the working space will scatter and spill over. It is easy to get dirty. In addition, storage of surplus soil and fertilizer is cumbersome and cumbersome.

  In order to eliminate such inconveniences, a small amount of culture soil-containing containers that can be directly used as planters as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have been recently sold.

  However, such a culture soil container is simple, and it is difficult to say that the design is satisfactory. For this reason, there exists a request | requirement of moving the culture soil in the said container to a favorite flower pot etc. and using it.

  However, it is assumed that the container containing the culture soil is used as a planter as it is after planting seedlings. Therefore, if the container is transferred to another plant pot or the like, the soil having a small particle diameter arranged on the planting surface side is used. Will fill the bottom of the flowerpot. Moreover, there are many cases where the pot bottom stone is not included in the culture soil of the container containing the culture soil as described above. For this reason, it is not appropriate to transfer such culture soil as it is to a flower pot or the like.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types of soil, fertilizer, etc., and it is possible to easily transfer to a favorite flowerpot etc. and enjoy gardening easily. Providing containerized horticultural soil is the main desired issue.

  That is, the gardened soil for container according to the present invention includes a sealed container that is configured so that a predetermined portion can be opened, a large particle size soil layer that is filled in the sealed container and contains pot bottom stone, and other soil. A horticultural soil in which a layer structure including a small particle size soil layer is formed, and the large particle size soil layer is discharged from the opening of the sealed container before the small particle size soil layer. It is characterized by being formed at a position.

  If it is such, since the closed container opens so as to discharge the large particle size soil layer prior to the small particle size soil layer, the horticultural soil accommodated therein is transferred to a flower pot The pot bottom stone is filled in the lower side (bottom side) in the flower pot, and other soil having a small particle size is filled in the upper side (planting surface side) in the flower pot. For this reason, the horticultural soil filled in the flower pot can exhibit good air permeability, drainage, water retention, and fertilizer retention. Moreover, in the horticultural soil in a container according to the present invention, since pot bottom stones and culture soil are collectively contained in a sealed container, it is possible to save the trouble of separately preparing multiple types of soil and fertilizers. it can.

  It is preferable that the said airtight container has a capacity | capacitance substantially equal to the flower pot of about 5-8. If this is the case, by selecting a gardening soil with a capacity suitable for the desired flower pot, the gardening soil contained in the container can be used up completely. If so, it is not bulky and is not heavy so it is easy to carry.

  It is preferable that a mesh is disposed between the large particle size soil layer and the small particle size soil layer. If it is such, mixing of the said soil layer for small particle diameters and the said soil layer for large particle diameters can be prevented.

  Examples of the opening mode of the sealed container include a mode of opening by removing a bottom plate provided so as to close the bottom, and more specifically, the sealed container has an insertion hole formed on the bottom side surface thereof. It is preferable that a bottom plate that can be pulled out and removed to close the bottom of the sealed container is provided.

  It is preferable that the small particle size soil layer contains a tile crushing material. The tile crushing material has moderate water permeability for plant growth, and also has a high effective water retention amount and fertilizer retention amount, but has a large specific gravity, so that it has a capacity of 5 L, 10 L or 20 L as with conventional soil. If it is sold in a bag, it will be extremely difficult to carry. However, if it mix | blends with the gardening soil for containers concerning this invention with a small capacity | capacitance, it can enjoy the effect of a tile crushing material easily.

  According to the present invention having such a configuration, even a beginner or an elderly person can easily enjoy gardening.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gardening soil 1 with a container according to the first embodiment includes a sealed container 2 and a gardening soil 3 filled in the sealed container 2.

  The sealed container 2 includes a hollow soil container 21 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped appearance and a handle 22 provided on the soil container 21. For example, the sealed container 2 is made of paper whose inner surface is laminated. Is. What is necessary is just to select suitably according to a use as the size of the soil accommodating part 21 so that the garden soil 3 of the capacity | capacitance comparable as the capacity | capacitance of the flower pot of about 5-8 may be accommodated. A bottom plate 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 211 formed on the bottom side surface of the soil accommodating portion 21 so as to close the bottom of the soil accommodating portion 21, and the bottom of the soil accommodating portion 21 is pulled out by pulling out the bottom plate 23. The horticultural soil 3 housed in an open manner is configured to be discharged.

  The horticultural soil 3 has a layer structure including a large particle size soil layer 31 containing a pot bottom stone and a small particle size soil layer 32 containing other soil, and in this embodiment, The large particle size soil layer 31 is disposed on the lower side (bottom side) of the soil container 21 and the small particle size soil layer 32 is disposed on the upper side.

  Examples of the pot bottom stone contained in the large particle size soil layer 31 include pumice and pebbles. On the other hand, as other soils contained in the small particle size soil layer 32, for example, water moss, humus, bark compost, charcoal, kunchar, vermiculite, barlite, peat moss, coco dust, bark, grass charcoal, pulverized vegetation Organic materials such as zeolite; zeolite, bentonite, kaolinite, volcanic ash soil, red soil, kanuma soil, river sand, sludge and the like, and crushed or granulated materials thereof; These may be used alone or in combination of two or more, but usually those obtained by appropriately mixing these two or more are used. Further, the small particle size soil layer 32 may be blended with various fertilizers, root rot inhibitors, and the like, if necessary. Especially, it is preferable to use the culture soil in which various soils, fertilizers, and chemicals are blended according to the cultivation target for the soil layer 32 for small particle size.

It is preferable that the small particle size soil layer 32 contains a tile crushing material. As the tile crushing material, for example, the average particle diameter is 0.05 to 10 mm, the pore diameter is 0.1 to 20 μm, the porosity is 50 to 65%, and the effective moisture retention is 50 to 300 L. / ^m is ^3, and hydraulic conductivity is preferably used a porous is 0.0001～1Cm / sec. Such a tile crushing material has moderate water permeability for plant growth, and further has a high effective water retention amount and a fertilizer retention amount.

  A mesh 33 is disposed between the large particle size soil layer 31 and the small particle size soil layer 32, thereby preventing mixing of the large particle size soil layer 31 and the small particle size soil layer 32. ing.
