Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water-retaining agent having a water-absorbing property, which is a high-molecular substance in a water-permeable container for growing plants and the like, and absorbs water such as precipitation to save water and store water in the water-permeable container. To do. Further, the present invention relates to a method of irrigation performed by a water-permeable container and a water retention agent, in which water is evaporated around a water-permeable container at the time of drying to supply water to plants and the like for irrigation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, since irrigation has required a huge amount of money and labor, it is not possible to store water locally due to lack of equipment and labor for precipitation, etc. Many of them could not be used for irrigation.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Irrigation, which requires enormous cost and labor, has not been possible anywhere. Therefore, it is possible to irrigate everywhere, by a simple method that does not require an economic burden, to protect water such as precipitation from infiltration or runoff, to store water, to irrigate naturally without manpower, There was a need for ways to save water for irrigation. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention solves these drawbacks, stores water in a simpler method that can be carried out anywhere, uses the water, irrigates in a more natural way, and saves water. A method of irrigation performed with an agent is provided.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A water-permeable container (5) contains a water-retaining agent (6) which is a polymer substance and has water-absorption property, and is a soil ( 9) A method of irrigation performed in contact with the like, and a method of watering with a water-permeable container and a water retention agent.

[0005]

In the water-permeable container (5), a water retaining agent (6), which is a high molecular substance, is stored and used as an example of a growing floor (8) for growing plants (7), such as soil (9). Soil to touch (9)
Water retention agent (6) in water-permeable container (5) when embedded in
Absorbs as much water as possible, including water that has normally infiltrated or run out, to save water, and stores it in the water-permeable container (5) in the soil (9). When the surroundings are dried, the water retention agent (6) gradually evaporates the water through the water-containing container (5), so that the surrounding soil (9) contains
In combination with the capillarity of the soil (9), a natural moisturizing action occurs. Therefore, the plant (7) that grows on this soil (9) absorbs this moisture when it is dried, and can continue to grow for a longer period than before. As described above, the irrigation method is performed using the water-permeable container and the water retention agent.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In a water-permeable container (5), such as covering a three-dimensional frame (3) made of plastic or the like with a tube (2) with a lid (1) with a water-permeable material (4), a polymer The water-retaining agent (6), which is a substance, is stored, and it is embedded in the soil (9) so as to come into contact with the soil (9) which is the growing floor (8) of the plant (7). Watering method, watering method with water-permeable container and water retention agent. The present invention has the above configuration. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. A lid (1)
For example, by covering the three-dimensional frame (3) made of plastic or the like with the attached cylinder (2) with the water-permeable material (4) such as cloth,
The water-permeable container (5) contains a water-retaining agent (6), which is a polymeric substance, and absorbs water, and the tube (2) is placed in contact with an example soil (9) of a growing bed (8) such as a plant (7). ) Tip ahead on the ground (10)
When it is excavated in soil and embedded in soil, the water retention agent (6) such as powder does not dissipate, and water that has been transported for irrigation and injected from the tip of the cylinder (2) or water due to rainfall or water sprinkling penetrates as much as possible. The water was effectively absorbed and saved without being lost or washed away, and was stored in the water-permeable container (5). And when the water retention agent (6) is dried around,
The stored water is passed through the water container (5) to gradually evaporate,
The surrounding soil was moistened for a long time together with the capillary phenomenon of the soil (9). Therefore, the plants (7) grown on this soil (9)
Absorbed this water when dry and continued to grow for longer than plants that did not use the method of the invention. In this way, water can be stored and used by a simpler method that can be carried out anywhere, such as simply burying the water-permeable container (5) containing the water retention agent (6) in the soil. The method became possible, and the method of irrigation was performed using a water-permeable container and a water retention agent. In addition, if the tip of the cylinder (2) with the lid (1) is exposed to the surface of the earth (10), the amount of the water retention agent decomposes and disappears, and the inside of the water-permeable container (5), which naturally decomposes and disappears. The amount of water can be checked, and even for perennial plants such as fruit trees where it is difficult to dig soil, it is possible to replenish and inject water retention agents, water, fertilizers and pesticides without digging the soil. Furthermore, when the precious water carried by a water truck etc. was absorbed and stored directly in the water retention agent from the tip of the cylinder (2) and irrigated, there was no infiltration or runoff, and it was a great saving in water. Also, the frame (3)
Makes it possible to avoid pressure by the weight of earth and sand that is in contact with the water-permeable container (5) and to fully exert the water-absorbing performance of the water retention agent. However, it was effective in preventing the inclusion of unnecessary substances. The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be described. A cotton (11) that is not so much pressed by the surrounding weight.
In the case of a breeding bed (8) such as, for example, a cloth containing a water-retaining agent (6) that is a polymer substance and provided with an expansion space (12) for absorbing water when the water-retaining agent (6) is provided. The water-permeable container (5) alone exhibited its function and effect. Therefore, the lid (1), the tube (2), the frame (3), etc. of the water permeable container (5) may be prepared as necessary. As described above, the irrigation method using the water-permeable container and the water retention agent of the present invention has been achieved.

[0007]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, irrigation has required a huge amount of money and labor for equipment and work, but the method of the present invention is a simple method with a small economic burden, and can be used in sandy areas and mountainous areas. The water and precipitation transported for irrigation can be effectively stored in the field regardless of the geology, topography and location, and water can be saved. Furthermore, since it is possible to irrigate in a more natural way without requiring human labor, there is no irrigation facility or means.
From sand planting seedlings, planting seedlings, fruit trees, upland crops, roadside trees, transplant garden trees, planter flowers, plant pot plants, etc.,
It became possible to grow for a longer period than before when it was dried. As a result, the irrigation equipment and work were greatly simplified and labor-saving, the economic burden was greatly reduced, and water-saving irrigation to cope with water shortage measures was made possible.
