Description

  The present invention relates to a plant seed holding sheet that holds plant seeds.

  Plant seeds sold in horticultural stores and the like are usually traded in a product form in which a plurality of plant seeds are enclosed in a bag material of an appropriate size. And the purchaser of the product unpacks the bag material, takes out the plant seeds from inside, opens a hole of an appropriate depth in the soil such as a field or potted plant, and after installing the plant seed in the hole, Work to refill the soil and wait for germination while applying water and fertilizer as appropriate.

  Recently, a plant growing mat has been developed in which plant seeds and fertilizer are held on a water retaining mat (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below), and this seed plant growing mat is mainly used for roads and hillsides. The land is greened by laying in the direction, riverbank of river, riverbank.

  However, in the case of plant seeds sold in horticultural stores, when taking out plant seeds from the bag material, the plant seeds may spill or scatter, or make holes in the soil, When backfilling, hands and clothes may be soiled with soil.

  On the other hand, the plant-growing mat as described in Patent Document 1 has the advantage that it can be greened only by laying it, but the assumed scale is relatively large and very bulky. It is not suitable for relatively small gardening.

  Therefore, as a result of intensive studies by the present inventor to solve such problems, a book in which plant seeds are held in a gap in a base material composed of a sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure. The plant seed holding sheet of the invention has been developed.

  That is, the present inventor uses a sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure as a base material, and if plant seeds are held in the gaps between the base materials, the bases are left as they are without taking out plant seeds from the base materials. It is possible to pierce the material into the soil and bury the plant seeds together with the base material, which can prevent the plant seeds from spilling and soiling hands and clothes with the soil during planting. I gained knowledge.

  In addition, a sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure as a base material for holding plant seeds can be designed to be relatively thin, and this improves the handling in distribution such as portability and storage. This knowledge was also obtained.

  In particular, if pulp products such as corrugated cardboard are used as the base material, the knowledge that the base material decomposes over time after planting and becomes a good soil component and nutrient that helps the growth of the plant after planting. I also got.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above findings, is relatively thin, has good handleability, can be easily planted, and decomposes over time to become a good soil component to help plant growth. Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel plant seed holding sheet that can be used.

The plant seed holding sheet of the present invention is characterized in that plant seeds are held in a gap in a base material composed of a sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure.
Hereinafter, the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention will be described in detail.

  In the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention, a sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure is used as a base material for holding plant seeds.

  Here, the sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure used as a substrate in the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention is not particularly limited, and usually one or more film-like or sheet-like liner members For example, a hollow structure is used by laminating a core member having various three-dimensional structures such as a wave shape, a column shape, or a pipe shape.

  Further, the material of the liner member and the core member used is not particularly limited, and paper, plastic film or sheet, metal film or sheet can be appropriately selected and used. In particular, it is particularly preferable to use as a base material a pulp made of paper or the like that decomposes with time to become a good soil component.

  Among them, in the present invention, corrugated cardboard is suitably used as such a pulp base material.

  This is because the corrugated cardboard is cheap and easily available, and the other major reason is that it has the following advantages.

  That is, when the corrugated cardboard sheet is cut into an arbitrary shape such as a box, a small piece cut off as an unnecessary portion is generated. And this small piece has no utility value and is disposed of as waste as it is.

  However, the corrugated cardboard pieces treated as the waste can be sufficiently used as a base material in the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention. Therefore, in the present invention, it is very preferable to use such a piece of cardboard as a base material from the viewpoint of eliminating waste of resources.

  The thickness of the substrate used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but a thickness of about 3 to 15 mm is generally preferable from the viewpoint of carrying and handling properties.

  Further, the shape of the base material used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but since the base material has a main appearance as a final product, any design such as dogs and cats, flowers, and the like. It is preferable to give a design / shape imitating animals and plants such as plants, vehicles such as cars and trains, buildings such as houses and bridges, and the like.

  And in the plant seed holding sheet | seat of this invention, a plant seed is hold | maintained in the gap | interval of the said base material.

  That is, the plant seeds are held in the base material by filling one or more plant seeds in the gap between the base materials having a hollow structure.

  From this, the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention can pierce the base material into the soil as it is without taking out the plant seed from the base material and bury the plant seed together with the base material. It can prevent spills and soiling of hands and clothes with soil.

  Here, the plant seeds held on the base material in the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention are not particularly limited, and any plant seeds such as flowers, grasses, trees, fruit trees and vegetables are appropriately selected. Can be used.

  Also, the means for filling the base material with plant seeds is not particularly limited. Specifically, for example, plant seeds are packed into the gap from the edge of the base material, or the liner member is peeled off and the liner seed is laminated on the base material in a state where the core portion is exposed. Also good. At this time, the plant seeds may be fixed in the gap between the base materials using an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

  Furthermore, the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention is not necessarily limited to the case of holding only plant seeds, and if necessary, other components that assist seed growth, such as soil, fertilizer, water retention material and At least one selected from soil improvement materials and the like may be held together with plant seeds.

  By the way, in the plant seed holding sheet | seat of this invention, it is preferable to further seal the base material which hold | maintains a plant seed with a bag material.

  This has the meaning to prevent plant seeds and other components from being exposed from the base material in the process of distribution before planting, etc., and contaminating the surrounding area, but the biggest reason is germination before planting. This is to prevent the occurrence.

  That is, if the base material that holds the plant seeds is sealed with a bag material, it becomes less susceptible to the influence of the surrounding environment such as humidity and moisture, and it is possible to prevent unexpected germination before use. Can do it.

  Therefore, as a bag used in the present invention, a plastic bag material or a resin-coated air density or water rather than a paper or cloth having a certain degree of air permeability, water permeability, and moisture permeability. It is preferable to use a bag material having a high density. Furthermore, it is a more preferable aspect that the air in the bag material is replaced with nitrogen or the bag material is evacuated.

  The present invention has the above-described configuration, is relatively thin, has good handleability, can be planted easily, and can decompose over time to become a good soil component and help grow plants. This is a novel plant seed holding sheet.

  That is, the plant seed holding sheet of the present invention uses a sheet-like laminate having a hollow structure as a base material, and holds the plant seed in the gap between the base materials, so that the plant seed is not taken out from the base material. It is possible to pierce the base material into the soil as it is and bury the plant seed together with the base material. From this, the plant seed spills or soils hands and clothes with the soil at the time of planting Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the substrate for holding the plant seeds can be designed to be relatively thin, it also has the effect of improving handling properties in distribution such as portability and storage properties.

  In particular, if a pulp product such as corrugated cardboard is used as the base material, the plant will decompose over time into good soil components and nutrients according to the growth of the plant after planting. Can also be played.

  Hereinafter, although the Example of this invention is described, this invention is not limited to this Example.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a plant seed holding sheet 1 of the present invention according to Example 1, and this plant seed holding sheet 1 has a rectangular corrugated cardboard piece (about 3 to 10 cm on a side) as a base material 2.
