Abstract

PURPOSE:To cultivate a tree in the air and enable the root part to be observed with eyes by allowing the tree to grow without soil in any arbitrary place. CONSTITUTION:The whole body of a tree 1 including its root 1a is held with support members so that the tree floats in the air. The leaves of the tree is irradiated with the sun or an artificial light and the root 1a is sprinkled with water from the sprinkler 7. The sprinkled water is received by the tank 8 and recycled from the tank for repeated sprinkling.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention aims at greening in difficult places represented by desert greening and artificial ground, etc., and makes it possible to grow trees without using any soil or artificial soil. The method for artificially growing trees.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when growing trees, in the case of building rooftops or artificial grounds, a considerable amount of soil or artificial soil was added to build up the conditions of the ground, and soil improvement was performed in the desert and the trees were rooted in the soil. They are trained by making them stand alone. In order to grow trees, fertilizer is applied to the soil and water is sprayed so that the trees can absorb nutrients and water from the roots. In addition, the leaves are exposed to sunlight for photosynthesis of trees. In the case of tree cultivation experiments, hydroponics is also used because artificial light is sometimes used for greenhouse cultivation. In the hydroponics, the roots of trees are placed in an aquarium so that the roots can absorb water and nutrients in the aquarium.

[0003]

Since the roots of trees are cultivated by burying them in the soil as in the prior art described above, the weight of the trees is heavy because the conditions of the ground are built up on the rooftop of the building or artificial ground. It becomes a thing. The present invention aims to artificially grow a tree without using soil and to select a place, and an object thereof is to grow a tree in the atmosphere so that a root portion can be observed.

[0004]

The present invention is a method for artificially growing trees in the atmosphere which has achieved the above object. Therefore, the whole part including the roots of trees is supported by a supporting member in a state of floating in the air on the floor, and sunlight and artificial light are applied to the leaves of the trees in a timely manner, and the roots of the trees are timely sprinkled by a sprinkler to sprinkle water. The trees are raised by receiving the water that has been given in a tank under the roots of the trees. Further, it is possible to breed fish in the aquarium and connect the aquarium with the sprinkler to supply the water in the aquarium to the sprinkler.

[0005]

[Operation] In the above tree growing method, the roots of the tree are supported in the air above the floor, so not only the tree above the trunk but also the root can be seen. It will be possible. In addition, since the water is sprinkled on the roots by the watering device in a timely manner, the roots can absorb water and the nutrients contained in it.
The leaves are exposed to sunlight or artificial light in a timely manner, and photosynthesis can be used to grow trees. Furthermore, when the fish are raised in the aquarium and the water in the aquarium is supplied to the sprinkler, the excrement of the fish serves as a nutrient for the tree, and the sprinkled water can be effectively used without being thrown away.

EXAMPLE An example of the method for artificially growing a tree in the atmosphere according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The tree 1 is used after being grown to some extent by a normal growing method. Tree roots 1
A is excavated from the soil, the soil attached to the root 1a is dropped by, for example, a drying method, washed with warm water, and then dipped in a hormone solution. A support frame 2 for supporting the tree 1 is assembled at a place where the tree 1 whose root has been treated in this manner is to be grown in the air. In addition, at the place to grow Tree 1, Tree 1
If there is a structural member for supporting the, it is not necessary to separately provide the support frame 2. Moreover, as a tree applicable to the growing method of the present invention, for example, evergreen broad-leaved trees such as cous, bayberry, sycamore, ubamegashi, mokkoku, burdock and holly are suitable.

Next, the tree 1 is carried to its growing position, and the tree 1
The receiving portion 3a of the weight receiving member 3 is placed under the root 1a of the
a is connected to the support frame 2 via a rod 4 or the like to support the root 1a in a state of floating in the air on the floor. In addition, the trunk 1b is located at an appropriate position on the trunk 1b of the tree 1, that is, in the lower two places in this embodiment.
A ring-shaped strip 5 is wound around b, and several portions of the strip 5 are connected to the support frame 2 via rods 6 and decorative plates 6a to prevent the tree 1 from swinging. An elastic body is interposed between the strip 5 and the tree trunk 1b at an appropriate interval to prevent the tree from being damaged by the strip 5, and the rods 4 and 6 for holding the tree 1 are provided by a turnbuckle or the like. The length can be adjusted a little.

Next, the sprinkler 7 is placed above the root of the tree, and the sprinkler 7 is fixed to the support frame 2. Further, a water tank 8 is installed on the floor below the root 1a of the tree 1, and fish are put in the water tank 8 for rearing. The water tank 8 is connected to the sprinkler 7 by a pipe 9, and the water in the water tank 8 can be supplied to the sprinkler 7 by a pump 10 provided in the middle of the pipe 9. The sprinkler 7 may be connected to a tap to sprinkle water, or the water in the water tank 8 may be drained, or it is possible to attach nutrients to the root 1a.

When the tree 1 is cultivated with its roots 1a supported in the air as described above, water is sprinkled on the roots of the tree from the sprinkler 7 in a timely manner so that the water and the nutrients therein can be extracted from the roots 1a. To absorb. Note that watering is, for example, 2 to 3 per hour.
The amount of water sprayed once is about 4 liters. Root 1
The water sprinkled on a falls into the water tank 8 downward, and the water in the water tank 8 is supplied to the water sprinkler 7 by driving the pump 10. Therefore, the water can be used without discarding it. Aquarium 8
There is also fish excrement inside, so it is also sent to the sprinkler 7 and sprinkled, and it becomes a nutrient for trees. Since the leaves of the tree 1 are exposed to sunlight, photosynthesis is carried out and it becomes possible to grow trees. Depending on the place where the tree 1 is raised, the leaves may not be exposed to the sunlight. In such a case, lighting equipment is provided so that artificial light is applied to the leaves of the tree in a timely manner.

[0010]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, since trees can be artificially grown without using soil or artificial soil, greening of the rooftops of buildings, artificial grounds, highways and bridges, or future underground cities can be achieved. It becomes easier and can be applied to desert greening.
