[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a nursery bed, since each pot is connected, it is convenient to sow seeds into each pot and perform various operations necessary for subsequent growth, but seedlings grown in pots are not suitable. Since it is assumed that the stems will be pulled out and taken out upward, the seedlings may be damaged during the taking out, and it is difficult to grow smoothly after replanting if the purpose is to replant. There is a problem to say. In particular, if the nursery bed is made of synthetic resin foam, the gaps between the beads that have been foamed and fused on the surface are exposed, and the roots of the seedlings grown here may invade and damage the seedlings. Difficult to retrieve without.

Further, such a nursery bed is suitable when a large number of seedlings of vegetables and the like are commercially grown at the same time. Therefore, it is not suitable for selling the required number of seedlings to the purchaser at any time. For this reason, seedlings of home-grown plants are usually grown individually in pots and sold, but these pots are troublesome to handle. However, there is a problem that it is not only bulky and not suitable for bulk sale.

In view of the above conventional problems, a seedbed having the pot structure according to the present invention and the pot structure according to the present invention is used, and when seedlings grown in the pot are taken out for transplanting or the like. In addition, the first purpose is to reduce the damage and to make the plant grow smoothly after replanting, and at the same time, a large number of recesses opening on the upper surface of the plank plate-shaped base are provided to form a seedling growth space. The second purpose is to be able to divide the required number of pots from other pots at any time in a nursery bed in which a large number of pots are formed.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve such a first object, according to claim 1 of the present invention, the drainage hole is formed on the bottom wall of the pot, which is a seedling growth space surrounded by the side wall around the bottom wall having the drainage hole at the center. To form an annular groove or notch for forced rupture with a part as a thick part, and to form a part of the thick groove part with other parts along the bottom of the annular groove or notch. We proposed a pot structure that can form a push-up piece that pushes up the seedlings grown in the pot by forcibly breaking it while leaving it. In addition, the second aspect exemplifies that the lower surface of the bottom wall of the pot is formed with an annular groove having a partially thickened portion. Further, claim 3 exemplifies that the pot is formed into a bottomed rectangular tube shape.

On the other hand, in order to achieve the second object in addition to the first object, in claim 4, a large number of recesses that open upward are provided in the thick plate-shaped substrate, and the drain hole is formed at the center of the bottom surface. In addition to forming a large number of pots for seedling growth by surrounding the bottom wall, which has a drainage hole in the center with side walls, a part of the bottom wall of each pot centering on the drainage hole is thickened. Form an annular groove or notch for forced breakage in the meat part, and force the breakage inside the annular groove or notch along the bottom of it, leaving a part of the thick part at the connection with the other. With, it is possible to form a push-up piece that pushes up the seedlings grown in each pot upward, and further, on the side wall that divides each pot, a block in which each pot is connected in multiple or leaving both sides and the upper or lower part. Consists of a nursery bed with separate grooves or notches did. In addition, the fifth aspect exemplifies that a flow recess for water or liquid fertilizer that communicates the inside of each pot is formed in the upper portion of the side wall that defines each pot. Furthermore, claim 6 exemplifies that the leg portion is provided on the lower surface of the thick plate-shaped substrate. In addition, claim 7 exemplifies that a communication concave groove for communicating the drainage hole of each pot is formed on the lower surface of the thick plate-shaped substrate.

[0008]

[Action]

 Thus, in such a nursery bed, as in the conventional case, after putting the soil in each pot, seeds are sown and the seedlings are grown. When the seedlings grown in each pot are taken out for transplanting, etc., after positioning them by pressing their fingers into the drain holes from the bottom surface, apply pressure from the bottom surface into the annular groove or cut. The push-up piece formed by forcibly breaking the annular groove or incision along the bottom of the groove leaving a part of the thick wall at the connecting portion with the other pushes it upward with the soil. In this way, when the seedlings grown in each pot are taken out one after another, when the seedlings are to be grown again, the push-up pieces are returned to the original state and the soil is put in.

Further, in such a nursery bed, when growing seedlings of home-grown plants in each pot and selling these seedlings, they are brought to the retail store as they are and purchased. At any time, the required number of pots are sold to other persons by dividing them from other pots through dividing grooves or notches.

It is a dividing groove having an opening width that divides each block 12 in four rows. Reference numeral 13 in the figure denotes a side wall 4 for partitioning each pot 5 in each block 12 ... Each pot 5 in each block 12 formed in the central upper part of the block 5 ... . Further, in the figure, 14 and 14 are leg portions provided on the lower surface of the thick plate-shaped substrate 2 in the horizontal direction in the figure. The legs 14, 14 are provided so as to remain on the lower surfaces on both sides of each block 12 even when each block 12 is divided from the other blocks 12 through the division groove 11.

Thus, in such a nursery bed 1, as in the conventional case, after putting the soil 15 in each pot 5 as shown in FIG. 5, seeds are sown and the seedlings 16 are grown. Let When the seedlings 16 grown in the pots 5 ... are taken out for transplanting, etc., they are positioned by pressing a finger against the drainage hole 6 from the lower surface, and then pushed into the annular groove 9 from the lower surface. As shown in FIG. 6, a push-up piece formed by forcibly breaking the inside of the annular groove 9 along the bottom of the annular groove 9 while leaving a part of the thick-walled portion 8 at the connecting portion with the other by applying pressure. It is pushed up with 10 soil and 15 soil. In this way, when the seedlings 16 grown in each pot 5 are sequentially taken out and then the seedlings 16 are grown again, the push-up pieces 10 are restored to the original state and the soil 15 is put therein.

Further, in such a nursery bed 1, when the seedlings 16 of home-grown plants or the like are grown in each pot 5 ... After that, the necessary number of blocks 12 ... Is divided from other blocks 12 ... through the division groove 11 ... and sold to the purchaser at any time.

In such a nursery bed 1, when the seedlings 16 grown in the respective pots 5 ... Are taken out for transplanting or the like, a part of the thick wall is formed along the bottom of the annular groove 9. When the roots of the seedlings 16 invade between the beads that have been foamed and fused, they are taken out by the push-up piece 10 formed by forcibly breaking and leaving the part 8 in the connecting part with other parts, so that if the roots of the seedlings 16 infiltrate between them. Even if it exists, it can be taken out without damaging the seedling 16. Further, since each pot 5 ... Is formed into a square-bottomed cylindrical shape by forming a square-bottomed concave portion in the thick plate-shaped substrate 2, it is possible to increase the amount of soil 15 ... It is suitable for growing seedlings 16, especially roots, and can be grown smoothly after replanting.
