Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention mainly relates to a cultivation tool using a drink container used for growing a plant having a greenhouse effect by using a plastic or glass drink container which is usually discarded.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, drink containers sold with drinks were thrown away after drinking. On the other hand, beverage containers are collected and reused for the purpose of effective use of resources by recycling. For metal drink containers, the percentage of reuse is increasing due to separate collection. However, plastic (mainly polyethylene terephthalate) drink containers are problematic in that the percentage of reuse is low due to the fact that they are disposed of as burning garbage and that the cost of recycling is low and the cost of recycling is high. is there. Also, in most cases, plastic drink containers are strong and hard to crush, so that they are discharged as garbage, which increases the volume of garbage. On the other hand, when growing plants in a home garden, veranda, or even a small part of the land even in a farmhouse, it is costly to create a small greenhouse to promote growth, especially in short greenhouses. Sometimes it was necessary to remove it, and when the wind was strong, the work was difficult because the vinyl would be broken or the greenhouse would fly unless the vinyl was removed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these problems in the past, to recycle drink containers to make effective use of resources, to reduce the volume of garbage, to be easy to use, to reduce costs, and to make work easier. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cultivation tool using a drink container functioning as a greenhouse.

A plurality of piles are inserted into the slit for insertion provided at the upper end of the pile and the lower end is tapered, and a plurality of piles are inserted into the soil so as to cover the plant and function as a small greenhouse to serve as a drinking container that promotes plant growth. 2) Cultivating tools using the drink container according to 1) above, wherein a plurality of small holes are provided at a predetermined height from the lower end of the opened drink container 3) Bottom or bottom of a transparent or translucent drink container A cultivation tool using a drink container having a bottom cut into the inside of a drink container by cutting a lower portion of a predetermined size from the bottom, putting soil into the inside of the drink container, and 4) coloring the surface of the drink container Lighting A cultivation tool using the drink container according to any one of the above 1) to 3) in which 5 is adjusted 5) The drink container according to any one of the above 1) to 4) having a hole for water injection provided at an upper portion of the drink container. 6) Cut the bottom of the PET bottle or the lower part of the predetermined size from the bottom, open the lower part, divide one of the split chopsticks into two parts and glue the lower part to form an insertion slit at the upper end. A tapered shape is used as a pile, and the lower and inner sides of the opened drink container are inserted into the same slits of the same pile and inserted into the slits, and a plurality of small holes are set at a predetermined height from the lower end of the opened drink container. This is a cultivation tool that uses a drink container that is inserted into the soil to cover the plant and functions as a small greenhouse to promote plant growth.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the cultivation tool using the drink container of the present invention, a transparent or translucent drink container is cut off from the bottom or a predetermined lower portion from the bottom and opened downward, and the opening between the inside and the outside of the lower portion of the opened drink container is cut off. A plurality of piles are inserted into the insertion slit provided at the upper end of the pile and the lower end is tapered, and inserted into the soil so as to cover the plant. The stake is fixed by inserting the stake into the soil, and the stake is fixed between the inside and the outside of the drink container so that the drink container of the present invention is firmly fixed to the soil. It is not easily blown off by rain and wind. When the cultivation tool of the present invention is inserted into the soil so as to cover the plant, the drink container is transparent or translucent, and shines the sunlight necessary for the growth of the plant. It also protects plants from rain, wind, snow and pests, and keeps the inside of the cultivation tool warmer than the outside air by reducing ventilation with the outside air even when the temperature is low. Thus, the cultivation tool of the present invention functions as a small greenhouse. In addition, costs are negligible because drink containers are used. In addition, it is a structure that can be easily created using household materials. In addition, it is easy to insert and remove from the soil, so if you want to work, just pull out of the soil. A beverage container having a plurality of small holes at a predetermined height from the lower end of an open drink container can appropriately take in outside air from the small holes and allow water to enter. When the bottom is in contact with the open bottom surface, put a lot of soil from the open lower end of the drink container, plant relatively large growing root vegetables and the like in the soil, grow on the bottom, and grow as it is. If they grow to some extent, they can be moved to another to promote the growth of root crops. If the surface of the drink container is colored, adjust the amount of light to be collected to keep the inside temperature of the cultivation tool at an appropriate temperature when the outside temperature is too hot. Drinking holes at the top of the drink container make watering easier and faster. The use of plastic bottles as drink containers and disposable chopsticks as stakes is very easy and inexpensive, since waste that is thrown away from households is discarded.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Transparent or translucent drink containers include those made of glass and plastic, and those that can moderately light are preferred. Plastic drink containers are made of polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, and those made of polyethylene terephthalate are widely called PET bottles. The stake can be anything that can clamp the inside and outside of the lower part of the opened drink container and can be inserted into the soil, and it is preferable to use waste products such as disposable chopsticks after use as household waste.

[0007]

【Example】

 Each embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Example 1 (see FIGS. 1 to 4) In Example 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the bottom of a plastic bottle or a lower portion of a predetermined size is cut out, the lower part is opened, and one of the chopsticks is divided into two parts and the lower part is adhered. A slit for insertion is formed at the upper end, and the lower end is tapered to form a pile. The inside and outside of the lower part of the opened drink container are inserted into the same slit of the three piles, and the opened drink container is inserted. This is an example of a cultivation tool that uses a drink container that is provided with a plurality of small holes at a predetermined height from the lower end and that is inserted into the soil so as to cover the plant and functions as a small greenhouse to promote the growth of the plant. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a state where the lower part of the drink container of the first embodiment is opened. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a state where a pile is attached to the drink container of the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which a cultivation tool using the drink container of the first embodiment is attached. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of air in the cultivation tool using the drink container of the first embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a plastic bottle used as a drink container, 2 denotes a pile of a crossbar, 3 denotes a seedling, 4 denotes a small hole, 5 denotes a cultivation tool using a drink container, and 6 denotes a spout. In the cultivation tool using the drink container of Example 1, the used transparent PET bottle is used as the drink container, and the used substitute is used as the stake, and the cost of the material is not incurred at all. As shown in FIG. 1, if the bottom of the plastic bottle 1 is relatively flat, the bottom is cut off as shown in FIG. 1 (a), and if the bottom of the plastic bottle 1 is largely bent or a cover is attached. In the case where the PET bottle 1 is moved, a lower portion is cut out from the bottom with a predetermined size as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, about 300 small holes are provided on the entire circumference at a height of about 2 cm from the lower end of the opened PET bottle 1 at a height of about 2 cm and five steps at a horizontal interval of 5 mm. The total hole area provided is equivalent to the area of the spout 6 of the plastic bottle 1. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the used strip was cut into two pieces, and the cut pieces were joined together, about 3 cm from each lower end was adhered, and the lower end was sharpened so that it could easily penetrate the soil. The pile 2 is cut into a tapered shape, and the upper end is cut into an inverted taper shape so that it can be easily assembled with the plastic bottle 1. The length of the pile will be about 10cm. As shown in the stake 2 made of plastic, the pet bottle 1 is inserted and attached to the lower three places of the plastic bottle 1 by using a slit between two unbonded upper parts of the stake 2 as an insertion slit. As shown in FIG. 3, the cultivation tool assembled in this manner is placed with the pile 2 inserted in the soil so as to cover the seedling 3. Thus, the cultivation tool 5 of the first embodiment can be prepared very easily. When the cultivation tool using the drink container of the first embodiment is installed in this way, the cultivation tool is made of a transparent plastic bottle 1 and can thus illuminate the sunlight necessary for growing the seedlings 3. Furthermore, since the seedlings 3 are covered by the cultivation tools 5 of the first embodiment, rain or snow does not directly hit the seedlings 3. Therefore, the seedlings are not damaged by strong rain, the seedlings are not washed away, and the seedlings are not crushed by the weight of snow. Further, even when a strong wind blows, the cultivating implement of Example 1 is firmly fixed by the stake 2 so that it is not easily blown away by the wind. The soil around 3 will not be blown away. In addition, the cultivating implement 5 of the first embodiment is provided with only a small-diameter hole 4 mainly used for ventilation on the lower side surface, so that pests cannot enter the cultivating implement 5. When the cultivation tool 5 of the first embodiment is used when the temperature is low, the internal air of the cultivation tool 5 is warmed by sunlight while being appropriately ventilated by the small-diameter holes 4 mainly used for ventilation on the lower side surface. The collected air is kept above the inside of the cultivation tool 5, so that the entire inside of the cultivation tool 5 becomes warmer than the outside temperature. Therefore, the cultivation tool 5 of this embodiment functions as a small greenhouse. If the temperature of the seedlings 3 is too high using the cultivation tool 5 of Example 1, the lid of the plastic bottle 1 of the cultivation tool 5 is removed as shown in FIG. The relatively cool fresh air enters the inside of the cultivation tool 5 from the hole 4, and the warm air inside the cultivation tool 5 moves upward, and moves outside and upward through the spout 6 of the plastic bottle 1. As a result, the air inside the cultivation tool 5 is cooled, so that the ambient temperature of the seedlings 3 is kept at an appropriate level. In addition, when fertilizing the seedlings 3 located inside the cultivation tools 5, the cultivation tools 5 need only be pulled up to perform the work, so that it is very easy and simple. The use of used plastic bottles and disposable chopsticks, which are usually disposed of as garbage, makes the cost considerably lower and makes it possible to effectively use the space where a normal greenhouse cannot be installed because it is small and easy to use. It can also be used in kitchen gardens on verandas. Furthermore, since it can be manufactured by children, it can be used for education in drawing, biology, and society (recycling for effective use of resources) if used at school or at home. As described above, the cultivation tool using the drink container according to the present embodiment is very useful as a method for reducing garbage discharged from homes and the like and effectively utilizing resources. Example 2 (see FIGS. 5 to 7) Example 2 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is an example of a cultivation tool using a drink container having a bottom provided on the open lower surface of the drink container. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a cultivation tool using the drink container of the second embodiment. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a cultivation tool using the drink container of the second embodiment is used. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a state in which seedlings grown using the cultivating tools using the drink containers of Example 2 are transferred to the soil. In the figure, 7 is a bottom lid, and 13 is a water injection hole. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom cover 7 is placed in contact with the open lower end of the PET bottle 1. As an example of growing seedlings using the cultivating tool using the drink container of the second embodiment, first, the cultivating tool 5 is turned upside down, soil is put in, and the bottom cover 7 is abutted. In this state, the cultivation tool 5 is returned to the original vertical relation, and seeds are sown from the spout 6 of the plastic bottle 1 and placed on the ground as shown in FIG. In this state, if necessary, water is poured from the spout 6 or a stick is inserted to perform thinning. Then, when the buds grow and grow, the cultivation tool 5 is removed from the ground, and the soil and the seedling are taken out. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, if a hole is dug in the field to which the plant is to be relocated, and the seedlings are buried with the soil as it is, replanting can be performed very easily and easily. Thereafter, the bottom cover 7 may be pulled out. Root vegetables may be grown by putting a lot of soil inside. Other symbols, configurations, operations, and usages are the same as those in the first embodiment. Example 3 (see FIG. 8) Example 3 shown in FIG. 8 is an example of a cultivation tool using a drink container in which the surface of a drink container is colored and the amount of light collected is adjusted. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which a cultivation tool using the drink container of the third embodiment is used. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a colored portion. In the third embodiment, when the inside of the cultivation tool 5 is too warm due to climate or the like, or when it is desired to change the growth balance between the bud portion and the root portion, the surface of the drink container is colored and the amount of light collected is adjusted. As shown in FIG. 8, coloring on a half surface is sufficient for adjusting lighting. The drink container may be colored after the cultivation tools are attached, or a commercially available drink container which is colored in advance may be used. Other symbols, configurations, and usages are the same as those in the first embodiment. Example 4 (see FIG. 9) Example 4 shown in FIG. 9 is an example of a cultivation tool using a drink container provided with a hole for water injection at the top of the drink container.
