(Prior Art) Conventionally, various types of automatic watering devices of this type have been provided. For example, there is an automatic watering device using a float as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 88033/1983. This is done by creating a recess in a saucer such as a flowerpot for the float to fit into, and covering the inner surface of the saucer with cloth made of water-absorbing material, so that the tip of the float presses against the elastic pipe that connects the water supply pipe. It is configured so that the water supply can be started and stopped automatically.

(Function) Therefore, when the irrigation liquid is replenished from the water sprinkler 5 to the cultivation bed 1, the irrigation liquid permeates into the cultivation bed 1, and the irrigation liquid that permeates into the cultivation bed 1 is transferred to the water absorbent fabric 2.
The irrigation liquid is stored in the soil 4 of the liquid storage part 3 using capillary phenomenon, and when the irrigation liquid in the soil 4 of the liquid storage part 3 reaches a predetermined amount, it becomes an irrigation liquid replenishment valve via the detection mechanism 10. The solenoid valve 6 is closed and the supply of irrigation liquid is stopped. Then, when the supply of irrigation liquid is stopped and the irrigation liquid in the cultivation bed 1 decreases due to absorption by the plants S, etc., the irrigation liquid in the soil 4 in the liquid storage part 3 is absorbed into the capillaries of the water-absorbing fabric 2. Utilizing this phenomenon, an equilibrium movement is made within the cultivation bed 1, and irrigation liquid is gradually and automatically replenished into the cultivation bed 1. Then, when the irrigation liquid in the liquid storage part 3 decreases to a predetermined amount, the electromagnetic valve 6
is opened, and the cultivation bed 1 is replenished with irrigation liquid, and the liquid storage part 3 is also replenished. In other words, the water-absorbing fabric 2 ensures that the irrigation solution content in the soil 4 in the liquid storage section 3 and the irrigation solution content in the cultivation bed 1 are always equal to each other, so that the irrigation solution content in the soil 4 in the liquid storage section 3 is always equal to that in the cultivation bed 1. The irrigation solution content state represents the irrigation solution content state of the cultivation bed 1 which is considerably wider than this.
