Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple hydroponic tool for easily growing seeds and bulbs of plants in containers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for cultivating a plant from seeds and bulbs in a container, a pot soil cultivation, a glass hydroponics container, or a bulb hydroponics using a wide-mouthed bottle is known. .

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the soil cultivation of pots described in the prior art, because of the use of soil, insects are generated, indoors are polluted, and it is unsanitary and the storage place is limited. Although there were glass containers for hydroponics of bulbs, they are expensive and easily broken, and there are many problems that need to be solved, such as the need to replenish water as needed. This invention is a plant seeds and bulbs using a simple hydroponics, it can be cultivated very easily without much effort,
A simple hydroponics tool is provided.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the simple hydroponics device of the present invention is provided with a buoyancy board (1) on the upper part of a cultivation bed (2) and a cultivation bed (2).
A water absorption zone (3) is provided in the lower part of the bulge, a water inlet (4) is provided on the outer circumference of the buoyancy plate (1), and a cross-shaped cut (7) is provided in the center of the cultivation bed (2) to grow a bulb for a bulb. The present invention is a simple hydroponics tool having the above-mentioned configuration.

[0005]

In the cultivation container (8), a simple hydroponics tool with seeds (5) or bulbs (6) is installed at a predetermined position,
Water is injected from the water inlet (4) to the water level (9) position under the cultivation bed (2), and the water in the cultivation container is sucked up to the cultivation bed (2) by the capillary phenomenon of the water absorption zone (3), The seeds (5) or bulbs (6) on the cultivation bed (2) absorb water, and germinate, root and grow.

[0006]

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 shows a basic embodiment of the simple hydroponic tool of the present invention. The material of the buoyancy board 1 constituting the simple hydroponic tool of FIGS. 1 and 4 is Styrofoam, plastic, wood, cork, rubber or the like. The water injection port 4 can be easily processed, and the adhesiveness with the cultivation bed 2 is good.

The cultivation bed 2 is preferably water-absorbing and water-retaining in order to germinate and grow plant seeds and bulbs, and sponge, gauze cloth, etc. can be used as the material. The water-absorbing zone 3 absorbs water absorbed by capillarity and retains it, and the seeds 5 and the bulbs 6 are easily adhered and stably fixed, so that sufficient water for growth can be transmitted. .

The water-absorbing zone 3 sucks up the water in the cultivation container 8 into the cultivation bed 2 by a capillary phenomenon, and the material thereof is "PVA sponge" (trade name) commercially available as a water-absorbing material made of polyvinyl alcohol porous material. It is preferable to use a water-absorbing woven fabric or the like.

From the embodiment of FIG. 3 to the embodiment of FIGS. 6 and 7 depending on the growth growth of the cultivated plant, the outer diameter surface of the buoyancy plate 1 and the cultivating container 8 serve as a function for preventing the cultivated plant from falling due to an overweight. It is supported and fixed by contact friction with the inner diameter surface of, and is stabilized.

A cross-shaped cut 7 is formed in the center of the cultivation bed 2.
By providing the bulbs of plants of different sizes and shapes stably, the surface area of the cultivation bed in contact with the bulbs in FIG. 4 is increased, and more water is transmitted to the bulbs. The pots and stems and roots of vegetables such as bees and parsley can be cultivated by inserting them into the notches 7 of the cultivation bed.

As seed plants suitable for the simple hydroponics device of the present invention, there are kaiware radish, alfalfa, garden cress, buckwheat, leeks, etc., and bulb plants include hyacinth, crocus, narcissus, etc.,
Furthermore, by using commercially available liquid fertilizer, the growth of cultivated plants can be promoted.

[0012]

Since the simple hydroponics tool of the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to cultivate a plant just by installing it in the cultivation container 8 and injecting water from the injection port 4. is there.

Further, according to the present invention, the water in the cultivation container 8 can be transmitted to the plants growing in the cultivation bed 2 by the capillary phenomenon of the water absorption zone 3, and the water can be replenished for a long period of time. And no maintenance is required.

Further, according to the present invention, unlike the soil cultivation of pots, it is very clean without using soil,
As an indoor interior, you can put it in any place, you can cultivate plants regardless of the four seasons, especially suitable for cultivating radish sprouts and herbs, watching and observing plants at home, It is something you can eat.

Therefore, bulb cultivation can be performed without using conventional expensive glass hydroponics, and seed cultivation, which was possible only in pot soil, can be hydroponically grown, which is extremely economical and cultivated. The present invention provides a simple hydroponics tool that is simple.
