[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a plant cultivating tool, and more particularly to a plant cultivating tool capable of cultivating a plant easily and properly.

[0002]

[Background of device]

 Cultivation of plants by putting soil and fertilizer in containers such as flower pots can be done even in a garden that does not own a garden, so even if they grow, they do not grow so much and even in containers such as flower pots. Many seeds of cultivatable plants are sold. Cultivation of plants in such containers tends to cultivate ornamental plants such as flowers and ornamental plants because it is possible to move the plants together with the container to a desired place. Many homes enjoy eating, and the sale of seeds for edible plants is also active.

By the way, there are the following problems in cultivating a plant in such a container. That is, if the soil put in a container such as a flowerpot is properly moistened, mold and moss are likely to be generated on the surface of the soil. In addition, when the grown plant is taken in from the soil in the flowerpot, the roots cannot be extracted smoothly from the soil and the roots are torn off in the soil, or the whole soil is extracted from the flowerpot. Also, when natural soil that has not been subjected to sterilization such as heat treatment is used for cultivation, it is very unsanitary because parasite eggs and bacteria are often inhabited in the soil. And the leaves and fruits of plants are often damaged by insects lurking in the soil.

On the other hand, in addition to the above-mentioned cultivation in which soil and fertilizer are put in a container, so-called hydroponic cultivation in which a culture solution (solution of inorganic salts) is put in the container and plants are cultivated in this culture solution is known. Are known. This hydroponic culture is hygienic because it does not have the problem of parasites and bacteria that live in the soil like the above-mentioned cultivation using soil, and is particularly suitable for the cultivation of edible plants.

However, this hydroponics also has the following problems. That is, when performing hydroponic cultivation, it is necessary to maintain the amount of the culture solution so that the root always contacts the culture solution. In addition, the culture broth is prone to spoilage especially in the summer, and the roots of plants are rotted when the culture broth is rotted.Therefore, it is necessary to frequently replace the culture broth, which makes the cultivation work complicated. It

[Outline of the device]

 A cultivation tool according to the present invention comprises a support for supporting a root of a plant and a container for storing the support, the container including a storage for storing the support and a container for storing the support. And a surrounding portion formed above. Further, the support is formed of wood strips to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the cultivation tool, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the cultivation tool shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, A is a support for supporting the roots of the plant to be cultivated, and this support A is, for example, a piece obtained by crushing charcoal or a fine piece obtained by crushing wood, which has water absorbability. Preference is given to using. In this example, an example in which a thin timber piece obtained by crushing wood is used as a support will be described.

On the other hand, B is a container for storing the wood strip A, and this container B has a drain hole Ba on the bottom surface as shown in FIG. The container B includes a storage portion B2 for storing the wood strip A and a surrounding portion B1 formed above the storage portion B2.

Next, the operation of cultivating a plant with this cultivation tool will be described. In this example, a cultivation example of "soba" as an edible plant will be described. In order to cultivate buckwheat with this cultivating tool, first, the upper surface of the wood strip A is flattened and sow seeds C are sown at a predetermined interval as shown in FIG. Then, the wood chips A are sprinkled on the seeds C so that the seeds C can be seen. Then, a sufficient amount of water is supplied by a sprayer, a watering can, etc. until the water seeps out from the water draining hole Ba of the container B. And it is good to put this cultivation part in the place where the sun is exposed as much as possible. Also, give water by spraying every day.

With the above care, the buckwheat seed C can be germinated in 2 to 3 days. By the way, sprinkled wood strips A are on top of the germinating buds, but if water is given by spraying, the wood strips A will fall to the roots and the rooting will be very good. . Then, if the cultivation is continued for 10 to 15 days, the buckwheat grows to 5 to 10 cm. The soba grown up to this point can be cut from the root with scissors, washed with water, and enjoyed with salad, sashimi, and soup stock. You can enjoy the taste of buckwheat that has grown for 1-2 months by boiling it in hot water, squeezing it lightly, sesame filling, soaking, salting, etc. If you want to make tempura, you can just wash it raw and fried.

As described above, according to this cultivating tool, it can be cultivated by supplying water by spraying, and it is not particularly necessary to supply fertilizer. That is, since the wood strip A of this cultivation tool contains the necessary components of the plant, buckwheat can absorb the components and grow. If you want to grow the buckwheat and enjoy the flowers, you can dilute the liquid fertilizer and give it.

Further, the wood strip A of this cultivation tool can give off a pleasant scent to the surroundings, and the scent of the wood strip A has a so-called “forest bathing effect” which is a relaxing effect on the mind and body. Therefore, this cultivation tool is particularly suitable for indoor use, and it is possible to enjoy not only appreciation of plants and eating and drinking but also the scent of the wood strip A. Since the scent of the wood strip A is a scent that can be felt naturally, anyone can enjoy it without likes or dislikes. Further, since wood has a bactericidal and antifungal effect by itself, mold and moss will not be generated even if the wood strip A is appropriately moistened. If necessary, the grain A may be mixed with an antibacterial agent.

By the way, the type of wood forming the wood strip A is not particularly limited, but cypress (cypress) is preferred, that is, cypress has a higher forest bathing effect and bactericidal effect than other woods. , For example, it has been confirmed that it contains a psyche-relaxing ingredient (phytoncide), and the cypress has a highly virulent MRSA (methylphosphorus-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which is a problem in hospital infections today. It has also been confirmed to have a strong bactericidal effect that kills vines, making it suitable for use as wood chips for this cultivation tool.

On the other hand, when the plant grown by this cultivation tool is taken in from the wood strip A in the flower pot B, the plant can be smoothly extracted from the wood strip A. That is, since the wood strip A does not strongly support (harden) the roots of the plant even when it contains a large amount of water or, conversely, when it is dry, it is easy and appropriate to remove the plant. Enables scraping. Then, the wood strip A attached to the extracted roots of the plant can be easily removed by simple water washing. Further, since the wood strip A has the sterilizing effect as described above, it is sanitary.

On the other hand, proper cultivation is possible even when a plurality of plants are densely planted in this cultivation tool so as to obtain many edible plants. That is, since the container B of this cultivation tool is provided with the surrounding portion B1 above the storage portion B2 for storing the wood strip A, a plurality of growing plants are surrounded by the surrounding portion B1 in four directions as shown in FIG. It can grow properly upward without spreading. Then, if the plants grow beyond the surrounding portion B1 until they protrude out of the container, each plant can firmly root itself and become self-sustaining, which makes the appearance unsightly. It doesn't happen.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the cultivation tool according to the present invention comprises a support for supporting a root of a plant and a container for storing the support, wherein the container is a storage part for storing the support. And a surrounding portion formed above the storage portion, and since the support body is formed of wood strips, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, it enables the hygienic cultivation of plants due to the bactericidal and fungicidal effects that wood chips originally naturally contain. In addition, the fragrance from the wood strips can relax the mind and body, which makes comfortable cultivation possible.

Further, when a grown plant is taken in, proper extraction is possible without causing any inconvenience such as tearing off the root of a plant tree, and it is easy to wash away wood debris attached to the root. Even if multiple plants are densely cultivated, the roots of each plant can be firmly rooted, and the surrounding parts of the container can prevent the plants from spreading in all directions until they can stand on their own. It is possible to grow properly.
