  The main body 14 includes a bottom 13 and the front plate 3, the side plate 5, and the back plate 11 that form the surrounding wall, thereby forming a space 7 having a substantially rectangular (rectangular) horizontal cross section therein. An opening 2 is provided on the upper side, and a front plate 3 as one side surface has a notch 4 connected to the opening 2 and extending in the direction of the bottom 13.

The front plates 6 a and 6 b are configured to be detachable from the main body 14, and can close the cutout portion 4 of the main body 14 stepwise or at a time from the bottom 13 direction toward the opening portion 2.

The block bodies 8a, 8b, and 8c are configured to be detachable from the main body 14, and the volume of the space 7 is adjusted inside the main body 14 in a stepwise manner from the direction of the bottom 13 toward the opening 2 or at a time. (Decrease).

As described above, the main body 14 is a box body that includes the front plate 3, the back plate 11, and the pair of side plates 5 that are erected on the bottom 13 and open upward, and constitutes a part of the peripheral wall. The front plate 3 has a notch 4 connected to the opening 2 and extending in the direction of the bottom 13, and a positioning member made of a foam member for adjusting the height of the front plates 6a and 6b on the inner side in the vicinity thereof. The members 15a and 15b can be detachably attached.

The positioning members 15a and 15b can be formed integrally with the main body 14, and in this case, the positioning members 15a and 15b are not necessary.

In such a planter 1, the main body 14 and the front plates 6 a and 6 b have a laminated structure of foamed resin and hard synthetic resin, that is, an outer peripheral surface portion 9 made of hard synthetic resin and an inner peripheral surface portion 10 made of foamed resin. By this, the heat insulation and heat retention with respect to the root of the cultivated product A are improved, and it becomes beneficial for growth, and contributes to the weight reduction of the planter 1.

A plurality of drain holes 12 are provided in the bottom 13 of the main body 14, and short legs 16 are provided outside the bottom 13.

Next, the use method of the planter 1 at the time of cultivation will be described. Between the front plates 6a, 6b and the back plate 11 of the main body 14, block bodies 8a, 8b, 8c that can be detachably attached, and long onions (white onions) ) And the like, and a space 7 for containing the soil B is formed at the same time. The space 7 is a substantially L-shaped space from the back plate 11 of the main body 14 toward the front plate 3. And it is easy to do the planting work by laying the soil B at the lower end thereof and placing the leek seedlings as the cultivated product A from the opening 4 so as to line up.

After planting the onion seedlings, the onion seedlings that are planted are managed in a state where the upper opening 2 of the main body 14 is raised upward. It is supported by 11 and it can prevent falling down.

After planting the cultivated product A, the front plates 6a, 6b and the block bodies 8a, 8b, 8c are incorporated in the space 7 separately from the bottom close to the bottom 13 as appropriate according to the growth of the cultivated product A. Put the soil B into the ground.

In addition, although the magnitude | size (dimension) of the planter 1 has a difference in each company by the manufacturer of the planter 1, the suitable dimension derived | led-out by the result of the test by this inventor is for planting of the cultivation A and soil B Since the space 7 for storing the space 7 is required, the depth D is preferably about 50 to 150 mm, the depth H is preferably about 350 to 600 mm, and the width W is preferably 600 to about the inner dimension of the space 7. It is about 700 mm.

In each of the above dimensions, the preferable thickness of the hard synthetic resin on the outer surface portion 9 of the main body 14 is about 4 to 10 mm, the preferable thickness of the foamed resin on the inner surface portion 10 is about 10 to 35 mm, and the block bodies 8a, 8b, and 8c. Is preferably about 30 to 70 mm, and the positioning members 15a and 15b and the front plates 6a and 6b are preferably about 20 to 60 mm. As shown in FIG. 3, the front plates 6a and 6b and the positioning members The height obtained by adding 15a and 15b may be adjusted to the height of the main body 14, and the total height of the block bodies 8a, 8b and 8c is for planting the cultivation A and storing the soil B. The volume of the space 7 is appropriately adjusted (decreased) in consideration of the height of the space 7.

Moreover, the front plate 3 standing up from the bottom 13 of the main body 14 has the opening 4, for planting to place the back plate 11 of the main body 14 below and to lay the cultivated products A, And the space 7 for storing the soil B is a substantially L-shaped space 7 facing the direction of the front plate 3, and the soil B is spread on the lower end of the space B so that the cultivar A is cultivated A from the opening 4. By placing the seedlings in a line, the planting work is easy to perform, and after planting, the book 14 can be managed by rotating it 90 degrees.
