Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of cultivating root vegetables and a container for cultivation which do not require cultivation in a field.

[0002]

Root vegetables such as radish and burdock are usually cultivated by cultivating fields. When cultivating in a field, the field has to be cultivated considerably deep, and at the time of harvesting, it involves heavy labor such as dug up and pulling out. Also, if there are stones in the soil, the roots will bend and the outer shape will be poor, and extraction at the time of harvest will be troublesome. Further, for example, in the case of burdock, there is a problem that burdock cannot be made in the same field for 4 to 5 years due to continuous cropping disorder.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for cultivating root vegetables in a cultivation container without depending on cultivation in a field and a cultivation container used therefor.

[0004]

The method for cultivating root vegetables according to the present invention comprises a container for cultivation having a space having a length corresponding to the length of the root of the root vegetables at the time of harvest and a cross-sectional area corresponding to the thickness of the root. It is characterized in that it is cultivated by putting the soil into the container and suspending it from the container with the lengthwise direction of the container up and down and sowing seeds or planting seedlings in the container.

As a cultivation container for carrying out this cultivation method, uneven plates having a plurality of grooves formed in parallel with each other, or the uneven plate and a flat plate are made to face each other and are detachably attached to each other,
It is possible to use a container in which a space for putting the culture medium is formed between the uneven plates or between the uneven plate and the flat plate. In this container, the groove length of the uneven plate is set to a length corresponding to the root length of the root vegetables at the time of harvesting, and the space between the uneven plates or the space between the uneven plate and the flat plate is set as the root thickness of the root vegetables at harvest. It is desirable to use a container having a space with a cross-sectional area corresponding to that.

[0006]

The method for cultivating root vegetables according to the present invention is to fill the soil in a container for cultivation and grow the root vegetables in this container. If the filling space of the soil in the container is provided in a plurality of places having a size corresponding to the size of the root vegetables at the time of harvesting, a plurality of root vegetables can be grown in one container. Hang an appropriate number of this container on a stand and sow seeds in the container,
Or plant seedlings and grow root vegetables.

1 is a perspective view showing a cultivated state in an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 (a) is an exploded perspective view showing an assembling procedure of a cultivating container, and FIG. 2 (b) is a cultivating after assembling. It is a top view of the container for use.

In the cultivation according to the method of the present invention, a plurality of cultivation containers 2 (only three are shown in FIG. 1) are mounted on the pedestal 1.
And cultivate root soil such as burdock root in the container 2.

The container 2 is an assembling type container made of synthetic resin, and an uneven plate 3 and a flat plate 4 each having a plurality of grooves formed in parallel are detachably attached to each other. It is a space 5 in which the soil is placed.

The concavo-convex plate 3 has a bottom plate 31 at the end which is the lower end when in use, and an upper projection 3 for engaging with the pedestal 1 described later.
2 are integrally formed, and the hook-shaped portions 3 are formed on both side edges and are directed inward.
3 is formed. To assemble the container 2, as shown in FIG. 2A, the side edge of the flat plate 4 is pushed in so that the hook-shaped portion 33 of the uneven plate 3 slides from the upper end side of the uneven plate 3,
Easy to assemble. As shown in FIG. 2B, the planar shape of the container 2 after assembly is such that a plurality of spaces 5 are formed between the uneven plate 3 and the flat plate 4.

The size of the uneven plate 3 and the flat plate 4 is such that when the container 2 is assembled, the container length in the longitudinal direction of the uneven groove corresponds to the length of the root of the root vegetable at the time of harvest, and the space 5 Is a space that corresponds to the root thickness of root vegetables at the time of harvest.

The pedestal 1 includes a column 11, a pier 12, and a pier 1.
It is composed of a plurality of moving frames 13 hung over two, and the containers 2 are set in the respective moving frames 13 by inserting from above. The container 2 has a projection 32 for locking on the top of the uneven plate 3.
Since the locking projection 32 is formed,
3, the container 2 is suspended from the gantry 1 while being locked by the moving frame 13.

Before or after suspending the container 2 on the pedestal 1, the space 5 of the container 2 is filled with cultivated soil, and the root vegetables are cultivated by sowing the root vegetables or planting seedlings.
At the time of cultivation, usually the movable frames 13 are appropriately spaced so that the root vegetables under cultivation are not overlapped with each other in the adjoining containers 2, and the movable frames 13 are indicated by arrows in FIG. 1 at the time of irrigation and fertilization. By moving in the direction, the gap between the containers 2 is reduced to prevent wasteful outflow of water or liquid fertilizer.

At the time of harvesting, the root vegetables in the container 2 can be easily taken out by hanging the container 2 on the gantry 1 or by removing the container 2 from the gantry 1 and pulling out the flat plate 4 from the uneven plate 3. .

The cultivation containers used in the above examples are
Although the corrugated plate-like uneven plate and the flat plate are combined so that the cross-sectional shape of the space filled with the soil is a substantially semi-circular shape, the cross-sectional shape of the space is not limited to the semi-circular shape. The shape may be circular or square. Further, the pedestal for suspending the cultivating container is made up of the support pillar and the pier and a plurality of moving frames hung on the pier, but the structure of the cradle is not limited to the structure of the embodiment, and the cultivating container Any structure may be used as long as the structure can suspend. Further, the entire gantry may be movable.

[0016]

The present invention has the following effects.

Root vegetables such as radish and burdock root can be cultivated without cultivation in the field.

The filling work and the harvesting work in the cultivation container can be done lightly.

A root vegetable having a good outer shape can be obtained.

Cultivation and harvesting can be carried out at any place if the mount for suspending the cultivation container can be moved.

Since a new soil can be used every time, there is no obstacle for continuous cropping.
