Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a plant cultivator.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Cultivation sets that combine seeds, culture medium, and fertilizer in one set are commercially available. . Purchasers of this set must follow the instructions included with the set to You can easily grow plants by filling them with a medium, burying the seeds at an appropriate depth, and applying fertilizer. It is now possible to cultivate.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

When placing the medium in a container and burying the seeds in this medium, one's hands become dirty. Also, In order for seeds to germinate successfully, the position of the seeds in the medium must be appropriate depending on the seed. It needs to become something. However, what depth is appropriate? This is extremely difficult for amateurs.

0004 The purpose of this invention is to provide a plant cultivator that can solve these problems.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

This purpose consists of a container having an opening at the upper end, a culture material housed in the container, A seed enclosing sheet is placed on top of this culture material, and the seed enclosing sheet is covered with seeds. This is achieved by the plant cultivator of the present invention, which is made of soil covering material with an appropriate thickness according to the Ru.

[0006]

[Effect]

Seeds can be germinated simply by pouring water into the container from the top opening. The purchaser does not need to put culture material in a container or embed seeds in the culture material.

[0007]

【Example】

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0008] As shown in FIG. It has a size that can accommodate the material 20 inside.

[0009] Examples of the culture material 20 include culture soil and culture stones. The culture material 20 absorbs water Preferably something with gender. Using a culture material with water absorption properties will prevent the roots of the plant from moving downwards. It has a tendency to spread horizontally without spreading.

0010 A seed enclosing sheet 30 as shown in FIG. 2 is placed on top of the culture material 20. this seed As the enclosing sheet 30, the one disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 8 of 1990 is suitable. . This seed enclosing sheet is made by placing seeds between two upper and lower water-soluble sheets. They are arranged and sealed with pitch. Seeds are placed between the upper and lower water-soluble sheets. In addition, fertilizers, germination agents, etc. may be included as necessary.

[0011] A soil covering material 40 is placed on the seed enclosing sheet 30 to cover it. This soil covering material 4 The thickness of 0 is set so that the seeds are located at an appropriate depth from the surface of the soil covering material 40. It should be appropriate depending on the type of seeds placed in the seed enclosing sheet 30. This covering soil The material 40 may be the same as or different from the culture material 20.

0012 The inside of the container 10 is provided with a step 11 that protrudes inward, and a seed enclosure is placed on top of the step 11. It is recommended to put 30 on it.

[0013] A pedestal 50 that can be filled with water is provided inside, and the container 10 is placed inside this pedestal 50. It is recommended to accommodate the following. Then, make a hole in the center of the bottom of the container 10 or at an appropriate position. A water absorbing material 60 such as a water supply stick is inserted into the hole and stretched inside the holder 50. Water can be appropriately supplied to the culture material 20 in the container 10 through the water absorbing material 60. is preferred.

[0014] This pedestal 50 is shaped so that it can be placed over the top of the container 10 when it is turned upside down. When made into a shape, it can be used as a cover for the plant cultivator of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3. Ru. In this case, the bottom part of the pedestal 50, the top part in FIG. 3, is made of a transparent material. It is good. When transporting the plant cultivator of the present invention, the distance between the soil covering material and the top of the container 10 must be The fixing material 70 having a thickness almost equal to the distance is used as the soil covering material 40 and the pedestal 5 as a cover. If placed between This can prevent the proper burying depth from being maintained.

[0015] A hole 12 is formed in the stepped portion 11 of the container 10, and a fixing pin or the like is inserted into the hole. Alternatively, the seed enclosing sheet 30 may be stopped. In addition, hole 12 has an appropriate port. You can also set up a wall to make it look like a book in a miniature flower bed.

[0016] The size of the outer circumference of the container 10 is made smaller than the size of the inner circumference of the pedestal 50 to increase the capacity. The container 10 may be configured to be able to move freely up and down within the cradle 50. And receive The stand 50 can be filled with enough water to allow the container 10 to float. It is also possible to do so. FIG. 4 shows such a mode of use.

[0017]

[Effect of the idea]

As detailed above, according to the plant cultivator of the present invention, seeds are placed at the appropriate depth at the time of sale. The grain size is ensured, and appropriate pitch is provided between the seeds depending on the seed. , so you can germinate plants just by pouring water through the opening at the top of the container. . In addition, the purchaser does not have to put the culture material and soil covering material in a container, so there is no need to get your hands dirty. There is no fault.
