[Embodiment of the invention]

 The figure shows a pet pot 10 according to this invention. The pet food pot 10 has a configuration in which soil 2 is placed in a dish-shaped container 1, a seed 3 of a plant is sown on the soil 2, germinated and grown into a plant 4 of an appropriate height.

As the material of the dish-shaped container 1, molded plastics such as polycarbonate, vinyl chloride, polyethylene, and styrofoam, ceramics such as ceramics and unglazed pots, and metals or papers such as steel cans and aluminum cans can be used. Further, the size of the container 1 is suitably about 3 to 20 cm in height and about 5 to 65 cm in diameter according to the type and size of the pet eating the plant. The shape of the container 1 is not limited to a circle as shown in the figure, but may be an ellipse, a polygon, or an irregular shape. In addition to the dish shape, the container 1 may have a cylindrical shape such as a bucket shape or a flower pot shape, or an annular shape. .

[0009] When the material of the container 1 is plastic, the manufacturing cost is low and the weight is light, which is advantageous for disposable and is easy to transport from the manufacturer to the store and from the store to the user. If the material of the container 1 is made of ceramic, the appearance (excellence) of the product is excellent, and the contents (for example, a thin plastic or paper container, a disposable pet pot made of soil and plants) are replaced, and the container 1 is repeatedly used. It is suitable.

In the case of metal such as iron and aluminum, it is inexpensive and has high strength, so that it is convenient for transportation and can be recycled when discarded. Furthermore, in the case of paper, there is an advantage that the incineration treatment when discarded is easy and is environmentally friendly.

The soil 2 is a mixture of peat moss, vermiculite, coco peat, and park compost or used alone. The ratio of the hybrid of the soil 2 or the type used alone is appropriately selected and used according to the type of the plant, which is advantageous for germination and growth.

In this pet food pot 10, a predetermined amount of soil 2 is placed in a container 1, a plant seed 3 is sown, and water is supplied to grow the plant 4 in a greenhouse or outdoors. When the seeds 3 germinate and grow, and reach a length of about 1 to 30 cm, they are shipped as commodities.

[0013] The three types of plant seeds are advantageously fast-growing and high-volume grasses such as oats, wheat, barley or alfalfa. FIG. 1 shows a grown state of wheat, and FIG. 2 shows a grown state of oats.

[0014] A consumer who keeps pets at home purchases a pet edible pot 10 according to the size of the pet and installs it in a garden or indoors and gives it to the pet. When the pets eat up the plants, the containers and the soil are both discarded.
