Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the damage of seedling caused by the drop of soil from a pot in the transplantation of even a vegetable seedling having insufficient root spread by filling kneaded soil in each pot of a seedling raising vessel and setting the pot in an upside-down state into a seedling box packed with a seedling raising culture soil. CONSTITUTION:A seedling raising vessel 1 having the form of a pot and made of vegetable fibers such as waste paper or pulp is provided with a sprouting hole (a) at the center of the bottom face. The vessel 1 has side walls rising from four sides of the bottom face. The tip ends of the side walls of the pot are connected with the tip ends of the side walls of the other pots to form a group of pots fittable to a seedling box. The seedling raising vessel 1 is placed on a proper plate 2. Mountain soil 3 having relatively high viscosity is sterilized by baking, kneaded with water and filled into each pot. Seedling raising culture soil 4 is heaped upon the kneaded soil at a prescribed thickness, a seedling box 5 is put on the culture soil and the whole assembly is turned upside down to obtain the objective seedling raising bed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications This invention relates to a nursery bed, and the details thereof are as follows.

This is a seedling bed made of a pot-shaped seedling raising device made of pulp wood or the like and kneaded soil.

Conventional technology Conventional seedling beds are made by simply filling seedling bed soil into each pot of a seedling tray, which has a large number of paper seedling pots made of pulp wood arranged in a row on the left and right, and then placing the soil inside the seedling box. It was set upside down.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional seedling beds, when raising vegetable seedlings with little rooting, there was a drawback that the top of the bed in the pot would fall off when transporting or transplanting the seedlings after raising them.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art and requires the following technical means.

That is, a seedling growing pot 1a is made of a corrosive material made of paper or vegetable fiber material, and has a bottom surface with a germination hole bored therein and a seedling growing pot 1a surrounded by cone-shaped tapered sides on all four sides. Seedling raising device 1 consisting of a group of seedling raising pots
In each seedling-raising pot 1a, kneaded soil 3 made by baking relatively high clay mountain soil, filtering it through a specified mesh net, and kneading it with water.
Packed with.

The seedling raising container 1 filled with this kneaded soil was used as a seedling bed which was set upside down in a seedling box 5 so that a layer of seedling growing soil 4 was formed at the bottom.

Functions and Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, each pot of a seedling raising device is filled with clay made by kneading highly viscous soil into wall soil, and this is used to create a seedling box filled with seedling raising soil in a constant layer thickness. This is because it is a nursery bed that is placed upside down inside.

The soil in the pot will not fall out unexpectedly, and even if you grow vegetable seedlings with little rooting, you can prevent the soil in the pot from falling and damaging the seedlings during transportation or transplanting. When raising seedlings, normal seedling growing soil is placed under the pot, which allows for good growth and healthy seedlings.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.
A pot-shaped seedling growing device 1 made of fiber material such as waste paper or pulp is formed as follows. That is, a group of pots is created in which the tip of the side wall of the pot 1a, which has a germination hole (a) formed in the center of the bottom and has a side wall that rises in a conical shape from the four peripheries, is continuous with the tips of the side walls of other pots 1a. are arranged at a constant pitch vertically and horizontally, and the whole has a rectangular shape in plan view so that it can be fitted into a seedling box.

Then, place the seedling raising device 1 on a suitable board 2, and in each pot la, mix soil 3 made by baking relatively viscous mountain soil to kill germs and kneading it with water to form a wall soil. Further, seedling growing soil 4 mixed with ordinary fertilizer is piled up to a predetermined layer thickness, and a seedling box 5 is placed on top of this and turned upside down.

Thereafter, the machine 2 is removed and the protrusion is inserted into the first germination hole (A) to a certain depth to form the seeding hole 6.

In this way, a nursery bed is created.

Next, to raise seedlings, seeds 7 are sown in each seeding hole 6, covered with soil 8 from above, and the grooves between each pot are filled with covering soil slightly more than the covering soil layer, and the seedlings are raised by watering.

Then, the seedling germinates and grows, its roots grow into the clay layer in the pot, and as the seedlings grow, they penetrate into the seedling growing soil 4 at the bottom and continue to grow. Therefore, the seedlings grow well, and after the seedlings grow, the soil in the pot becomes kneaded soil, so they do not fall off unexpectedly during transportation or transplanting, and damage to the seedlings is less likely to occur.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The figures show an embodiment of the present invention, in which Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway slope view of a pot-shaped seedling nursery, Fig. 2 is an enlarged side sectional view of the main part, and Figs. Figure 5 is a sectional view of the main part showing the process of creating a seedling bed, and Figure 6 is a sectional view of the main part during seedling raising. In the figure, symbol 1 is a seedling raising device, 1a is a seedling raising pot, 3 is kneaded soil, 4 is a seedling growing soil, and 5 is a seedling box.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A seedling growing pot 1a is made of a corrosive material made of paper or vegetable fiber material and is surrounded by a bottom with a germination hole and cone-shaped tapered sides on all four sides, and is formed so that its outer peripheral end surface is continuous with each other. Each seedling growing pot 1a of a seedling growing device 1 consisting of a group of seedling growing pots is filled with kneaded soil 3 made by baking relatively high clay mountain soil, filtering it through a predetermined mesh net, and kneading it with water. This seedling bed is made by setting a filled seedling raising container 1 upside down in a seedling box 5 so that a layer of seedling growing soil 4 is formed at the bottom.
