(57) [Summary] [Problem] To obtain a vegetable cultivation container capable of cultivating root vegetables such as radishes and carrots, or vegetables for cultivation such as potatoes such as green onion and yam. SOLUTION: The container is made of a soft plastic cylinder and has a bellows structure that can be extended and retracted. The vegetable growing container can be shrunk like a lantern when not in use or stored, and can be folded thinly. When used, the stretching height can be arbitrarily changed according to the type of vegetable to be grown. In addition, a plurality of drain holes are formed in the bottom surface of the vegetable cultivation container, and a plurality of pedestals are provided for better drainage.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a vegetable cultivation container for root vegetables such as radishes and carrots, or vegetables to be buried such as root onion and yam.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when conducting a vegetable garden in the yard of an ordinary household or on the veranda of an apartment or condominium, an empty box of mainly a plastic planter or styrofoam for frozen storage has been used. The depth of the container was only about 20 cm, and cultivation of fruits and vegetables such as eggplant and tomato, leaf vegetables and herbs such as chive and spinach was common.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the above containers were too shallow to grow root vegetables such as radishes and carrots, so they could not be grown. In addition, even for vegetables that are potted such as potatoes such as root onion and yam, the edge of the container is short, so that potting cannot be carried out, and therefore, they cannot be cultivated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can cultivate root vegetables such as radishes and carrots, or vegetables such as potatoes such as green onions and yams. It is intended to provide a container.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned object, the vegetable cultivation container 2 of the present invention is a flexible plastic cylindrical container having an elastic bellows structure. The vegetable cultivation container 2 can be shrunk like a lantern when not in use or stored, and can be folded thinly. In use, the stretching height can be arbitrarily changed according to the type of vegetable to be cultivated.

In addition, a plurality of drain holes 4 are formed in the bottom surface of the vegetable cultivation container 2, and a plurality of pedestal portions 3 are provided for better drainage.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which seedlings are cultivated in the vegetable growing container of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the vegetable growing container of the present invention.

The vegetable cultivation container 2 of the present invention is a container made of a soft plastic such as polyethylene or the like having a cylindrical shape such as a circular shape or an elliptical shape, and having a bellows structure that can be extended and contracted. The vegetable cultivation container 2 can be folded thinly by shrinking it like a lantern when not in use or in storage, and the stretching height can be arbitrarily set according to the type of vegetable to be cultivated or according to the growing condition of the vegetable when in use. Can be changed.

A drain hole 4 for draining water in the soil 5 is provided at a plurality of locations on the bottom surface of the vegetable cultivation container 2. Further, the base 3 is provided at several places, and when the vegetable cultivation container 2 is placed directly on a concrete table or a veranda in the garden, the structure is raised from the installation surface so that the drainage from the drainage hole 4 is improved.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing a state in which radish is cultivated as one example in the vegetable cultivation container of the present invention. In this case, when planting the seeds or the seedlings of the radish 6, the height of the vegetable cultivation container 2 is extended according to the harvested length of the radish 6 to be cultivated, and the soil 5 corresponding to the height is added and cultivated. . The surplus bellows of the vegetable cultivation container 2 is usually kept in a contracted state for daylighting, but when it is in an extended state, it is useful for light shielding in summer and for keeping warm in winter.

FIG. 4 is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the root onion is cultivated in the vegetable cultivation container of the present invention as an embodiment. In this case, it is not necessary to extend the height of the vegetable cultivation container 2 from the beginning when planting seeds or seedlings of the root leek 7 because the burrowing can be performed later according to the growth condition of the root leek 7. The cultivation method described in 3 can be applied. After that, when the deep green onion 7 grows and soil filling becomes necessary, the bellows portion of the vegetable growing container 2 is appropriately extended to perform soil filling.

In the vegetable cultivation container 2 described above, if it has a bellows structure that expands and contracts like a lantern, which is a characteristic of the vegetable cultivation container 2, the material, the size, or the shape is arbitrary. No problem. Also, the color may be any color. Furthermore, a picture such as a radish, a carrot, or a green onion may be drawn on the side surface to indicate the standard of the soil 5 to be inserted or a pattern may be drawn.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, when vegetables are grown using the vegetable growing container of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. Since the cultivation container has an elastic bellows structure, the height of the cultivation container can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the type of vegetables to be cultivated. Can be easily cultivated. Similarly, since the height of the cultivation container can be adjusted later, it is also possible to easily cultivate vegetables, such as green onion and yam, which are cultivated according to the growing conditions. When not in use or stored, it can be shrunk like a lantern and folded thinly, which is convenient without taking up space.
