Description

  The present invention relates to a gardening pot.

  Conventionally, a horticultural pot made of a soft synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2006-246707 A

  However, since the garden pot of Patent Document 1 is made of a synthetic resin, it is difficult to draw a pattern or a letter with a pencil or an aqueous pen after processing, and when it is incinerated, it generates carbon dioxide derived from fossil fuels and global warming. There was a problem of causing this. Moreover, in order to receive the water discharged | emitted from the drain hole of a bottom part, the water receiving tray was required as an auxiliary | assistant material, and there existed a subject that the cost increased.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and can draw pictures and characters with a pencil or water-based pen, and has little environmental impact when discarded, reducing the cost required for the water tray. An object is to provide a gardening pot that can be reduced.

  In order to achieve the above object, a gardening pot according to the present invention has a container made of stone paper and a water absorbing material made of diatomaceous earth housed in a position lower than the upper end of the container inside the container. Features.

The horticultural pot according to the present invention is used for cultivation by putting culture soil on the upper side of diatomaceous earth and planting plant seeds, seedlings, etc. in the culture soil. In the garden pot according to the present invention, since the container is made of stone paper, it is possible to freely draw a pattern or a character with a pencil or a water-based pen. Containers made of stone paper are degraded and decomposed by ultraviolet rays, and diatomaceous earth can be returned to the soil. Since the water-absorbing material absorbs excess water from the culture soil, it does not easily cause root decay of the plant without draining from the container. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a drain hole at the bottom of the container, and the cost required for the water tray can be reduced.
The container preferably has an air hole at a position covering the water absorbing material.

It is preferable that the water-absorbing material has an air passage having an opening formed on a side thereof and is accommodated along the bottom of the container, and the container has an air hole communicating with the opening.
In this case, air can be supplied to the water-absorbing material, the culture soil, and the roots of the plant through the air holes and the ventilation path, thereby helping the growth of the plant. Further, excess water in the water absorbing material can be discharged to the outside of the container through evaporation through the ventilation path and the air hole.

It is preferable that the container has a flange portion protruding on the inner surface so as to come into contact with a peripheral edge portion of the upper surface of the water absorbing material.
In this case, when the culture soil is put on the upper side of the water-absorbing material 2, it can be prevented by the flange portion that the culture soil falls along the inner surface of the container and spills out of the air hole.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gardening pot that can draw a pattern or a character with a pencil or a water-based pen, has little environmental impact when discarded, and can reduce the cost required for a water tray. Can do.

It is a perspective view which shows the gardening pot of embodiment of this invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the gardening pot shown in FIG. It is a top view of the gardening pot shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the gardening pot according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a container 1 and a water absorbing material 2. The container 1 is made of stone paper. Stone paper is a paper or sheet made of limestone as a main raw material, has water resistance, is not easily torn, and has a characteristic that it is easy to draw a pattern or a character with a pencil, a water-based pen, water-based ink, or the like. The container 1 has the bottom part 11 and the side part 12, and can store water inside without leaking water. In FIG. 1, the container 1 has a circular truncated cone shape with the bottom portion 11, but the container 1 may have a rectangular bottom portion 11 or other shapes. The container 1 has two pairs of hanging holes 13 for hanging a handle or a hanging member on the upper part.

  The water absorbing material 2 is made of massive diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth is a fossilized sedimentary rock with a shell of diatom, and has a characteristic of retaining a large amount of water. The water absorbing material 2 has an outer surface shape along the bottom portion 11 of the container 1 and the inner lower portion of the side portion 12. The water-absorbing material 2 has a ventilation path 22 in which a plurality of openings 21 are formed on the side.

  The ventilation path 22 is formed along the bottom surface, and has a cylindrical surface side portion of the water-absorbing material 2, a concentric annular portion, and a linear portion extending radially from the annular portion to each opening 21. The shape of the ventilation path 22 may be another shape. The water absorbing material 2 is accommodated along the bottom 11 inside the container 1. The height of the water absorbing material 2 may be any height as long as the culture soil A can be put inside the container 1 and above the water absorbing material 2.

  The container 1 has a plurality of air holes 14 communicating with the openings 21 at the height of the water absorbing material 2 below the side portion 12. Each air hole 14 is provided at equal intervals. The container 1 has the flange part 23 which protrudes so that the upper surface peripheral part of the water absorbing material 2 may be contacted on the inner surface.

Next, the operation will be described.
The horticultural pot is used for cultivation by putting culture soil A on the upper side of diatomaceous earth and planting seeds, seedlings, etc. of the plant in the culture soil A. The plant to be cultivated may be vegetables, fruit trees, or any other type besides florets. The gardening pot can be hung by hanging a hook or the like in the hanging hole 13. In the gardening pot, since the container 1 is made of stone paper, it is possible to freely draw patterns and characters with a pencil or a water-based pen. The container 1 can also be printed with water-based ink by a personal computer printer. For example, a letter “Thank you mom” or a letter of a plant name such as “cyclamen” can be written on the container 1 or a picture of a flower when it blooms can be printed.

  The container 1 made of stone paper is deteriorated and decomposed in about 8 to 9 months under the sunlight in the outdoors, and the diatomaceous earth can be returned to the soil. Compared to a conventional gardening pot made of 100% synthetic resin, the environmental load can be greatly reduced.

  Since the water-absorbing material 2 absorbs excess water from the culture soil A, it is difficult to cause root decay of the plant without draining from the container 1. For this reason, since it is not necessary to provide a drain hole in the bottom part 11 of the container 1 and a water receiving tray is not required, the cost required for the water receiving tray can be reduced.

  Since the container 1 has the air hole 14 at a position covering the water absorbing material 2, air can be supplied to the water absorbing material 2, the culture soil A, and the plant root through the air hole 14 and the aeration path 22 to help the growth of the plant. it can. Further, excess water in the water absorbing material 2 can be discharged to the outside of the container 1 by evaporation through the ventilation path 22 and the air hole 14.

  The container can prevent the culture soil A from falling along the inner surface of the container 1 and spilling out from the air holes 14 when the culture soil A is put on the upper side of the water absorbing material 2 by the flange portion 23.

The characteristics of the gardening pot are summarized as follows.
(1) A message can be freely written on the container 1 like paper or a picture or a photograph can be printed.
(2) Since extra water can be absorbed by diatomaceous earth, no water tray is required.
(3) The environmental load due to disposal can be reduced.

  Thus, the gardening pot is made of a combination of stone paper and diatomaceous earth, so it is environmentally friendly and has excellent design. This gardening pot was devised by applying the theory of cloth foundation, which is a low-rise residential construction technique, and has excellent durability.
