Abstract

PURPOSE:To grow plant in hardly to fall with deeply spreading of root into soil and making smoothly supply water by laying material generating capillary phenomenon from wet soil layer below dried land surface to the land surface and planting plant. CONSTITUTION:A hole 3 is dug by, e.g. digger from the surface of dried land layer 1 to wet soil layer 2 and a core 4 composed of fiber, etc., generating capillary phenomenon, then around of the core is filled with medium 5 containing water-retentive agent and fertilizer, thus young tree 6 is planted and grown.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for growing plants in dry land, and contributes to the maintenance and improvement of the earth's environment by planting plants, especially trees.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when planting trees in dry areas such as deserts, water is usually supplied by drip irrigation or watering from the surface of the ground.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

According to this conventional method, moisture is not sufficiently supplied and retained from the surface of the earth to the depths of the earth, so tree roots do not grow deep underground and become shallow, making trees more likely to fall over due to wind. Become.

In other words, it cannot be said that this is a sufficient and reliable method for growing and nurturing plants in dry land.

The present invention solves such difficulties and allows plants in dry areas to
In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for growing plants by supplying underground moisture, which is a supply source, to the site where a tree is rooted and should absorb moisture.

[Means for solving the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for growing plants in an arid land where the ground surface or the vicinity of the ground is a dry stratum, and the stratum below the dry stratum is a moist stratum due to moisture. Materials that tend to generate capillary action are continuously laid between the area where moisture is supplied and the moist stratum, and the moisture contained in the moist stratum is absorbed and supplied to the roots of plants grown in dry land. It is.

Here, dry strata! : is made up of sand or soil 1. It is originally a geological formation in a region with little rainfall, or even if there is a certain amount of precipitation, it is highly permeable, so it is not suitable for growing or nurturing plants because the stratum retains little moisture. Refers to strata. Also,
Such dry strata are not limited to those exposed on the earth's surface, but also include those located underground, where plants need water.

In addition, the moist stratum may not only consist of sand or soil, but may also contain buried plant charcoal, etc., and may be an underground water layer containing sufficient water to generate the capillary phenomenon in the present invention. be.

From the part that should supply water to plants in such dry strata,
Examples of materials that are likely to cause capillary action and are laid down while reaching the moist stratum include lobed fibers. The core may be formed of a material with gaps made of fibers. This material does not necessarily need to be a single piece5, but may be a continuous piece so that it can conduct moisture upward.

Further, this material may be laid after first drilling a hole in the ground, or may be laid simultaneously while the hole is being excavated.

In addition, if the dry stratum is prone to sagging, such as sandy soil, holes may be made using a casing tube that does not impede plant root growth, such as a cylindrical cardboard reinforced with water-soluble glue. May be secured.

Also,. In what manner this material is arranged,
Jurisprudence may be used as appropriate depending on the type of plant, the condition of the strata, etc.

That is, one or more materials that generate capillary action are laid for each tree. In the case of a plurality of holes, the holes in which they are laid can be made independent for each material, or can accommodate several materials collectively.

In addition, the area around the laid material should be surrounded by sand or a water-retaining material that replaces the original stratum, such as a commercially available super absorbent resin or porous Cerasagicus containing a water-retaining material. is preferred.

Retains moisture blown up by laid materials,
This is to provide a stable supply of water to plants.

If the soil or sand containing a water retaining material is mixed with a fertilizer suitable for the growth of plants, the L-layer is preferable for plant growth.

Such a water retaining material or a material to which fertilizer has been added may be integrated with soil or sand for filling and placed in a case, or may be hardened with water-soluble glue and shaped into a cylindrical shape.

[For production]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, water in the moist stratum is transmitted through materials such as fibers, and is smoothly supplied to the roots where plants take in water by capillary action.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

Dry stratum 1, which is the original ground at the point where trees are to be planted
A hole 3 is dug with an excavator from the ground surface to the moist stratum 2, which is moist and has a lot of moisture. A core 4 made of fiber, which is a material that tends to cause capillary action, is inserted into the hole 3. A medium 5 containing water retaining material and fertilizer is filled around the core 4, and young trees 6 are planted. Mulch (covering) 7 is placed around the soil surface of the young tree 6 to prevent moisture evaporation.

The water required by the plants passes through the core from the wet stratum and is smoothly supplied to the dry stratum 1 and, therefore, to the young trees 6.

〔effect〕

The present invention can grow plants by supplying them with the water they need, regardless of the type of plant and without being affected by the weather, and is useful for greening the earth and preserving the environment. be. In addition, when filling the area around the laid material with soil or sand containing a water-retaining material, it not only makes it easier to replenish water, but it also makes it easier for plant roots to grow, which improves the growth and development of plants. can be helpful.
