JPH10108560A - Water supplier and tree fertilizer applying and watering method using the same - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform efficient fertilizer application and watering to a tree by using a water supplier capable of quickly infiltrating a fertilizer and water, etc., near a tree root part. SOLUTION: This water supplier composed of a container 2 provided with plural holes 1 and a lid body 5 connected to it is embedded in the earth 9 near the tree 8 so as to expose the part of the lid body 5. Then, the fertilizer is applied and watering is performed from a net-like water pouring port 4 provided on a part or the entire surface of the lid body 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water supply container for supplying fertilizer, water, and the like to trees, and to a method of applying and watering fertilizer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, irrigation of trees has been carried out by jouro,
It was common practice to use a hose, sprinkler, etc., and also to use a fertilizer etc. for liquid fertilizer. It is also known to excavate the area around the root and apply fertilization and irrigation in the area, or to fill the area and fill the area from the root. Alternatively, as shown in JP-A-58-40023, a method is also known in which a perforated box is buried in the outer peripheral ground of a tree, the upper end opening of the box is opened in the ground, and fertilization and irrigation is performed from the opening. .

[0003]

In the recent extreme weather and light rain phenomena, when drought is severe, the trees may die and grow poorly, resulting in serious damage. As a countermeasure against these problems, it is necessary to perform watering. In particular, in the summertime, in the case of watering a garden, it is a general tendency that the number of times and the amount of water used increase. In such a situation,
Due to the severe water shortage, efficient water supply methods to trees with consideration for water saving are required.

[0004] In conventional irrigation using a watering can, a hose, a sprinkler, and the like, fertilizer and water flow on the ground surface,
Infiltration into tree roots is small. In order to penetrate deep into the ground, irrigation for a long time is required, and a great amount of water is used and the time required for the irrigation is greatly wasted.

[0005] In addition, the method of excavating or embedding the area around the root to apply fertilization and irrigation requires a lot of labor and mechanical power.

[0006] Alternatively, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 58-4002
In No. 3, a perforated box made of plastic is buried in the outer ground of the tree, and the top opening of the box is opened to the ground, fertilizer, water, etc. are supplied from the opening, and the opening is made of wood or the like. The method of closing and embedding on it and covering it is performed. However, it is necessary to remove the above-mentioned covering every time of fertilization and irrigation, to replenish and irrigate the fertilizer, and to cover the opening again as described above. If used without a cover, dust and dirt accumulate inside the water supply container, and insects and the like may enter the water supply container, resulting in hole clogging. In addition, there is a risk that a person's foot may accidentally enter and cause injury.

[0007]

A water supply device according to the present invention comprises a container (2) having a plurality of holes (1) on a side surface or a bottom surface, and a net-like shape formed on a part or the whole of an upper end opening (3) of the container. The cover (5) having the water inlet (4) is connected and covered. Then, the water supply device is connected to the tree (8) so that the upper portion of the water supply device from the vicinity of the lower end portion (6) is exposed to the ground (7).
It is buried in the surrounding ground (9) and supplies fertilizer, water, etc. from the water inlet (4).

[0008]

The water inlet of the water supply constructed as described above (4).
When more fertilizer, water and the like are supplied, they penetrate into the ground (9) from the hole (1) without being discharged to the other, and are absorbed from the root of the tree (8).

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing one embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of holes (1) are provided on the side surface or the bottom surface of the container (2). The upper end opening (3) is fitted, for example, by providing a shallow concave portion on the outside at several places and providing a convex portion on the inside of the lid lower end portion (6) at the same interval, or a screw or other method. It has a shape that can be connected to the lid (5) by a general connection method. The lid (5) is connected to and covered with the container (2) as described above, and is provided with a net-like water inlet (4) on a part or the entire surface.

Next, a part of the ground (7) around the tree (8) is excavated so that the lid (5) of the present invention is exposed.
Embed the water inlet (4) so that it can be easily irrigated. Then, fertilizer, water and the like are supplied from a water inlet (4) provided in the lid.

As a method of water injection, in the case of fertilization, the water is injected from another container, but in the case of irrigation, it is supplied from a hose connected to a water supply, or from domestic wastewater, rainwater, or other accumulated water. It is possible to use. And
These penetrate into the ground (9) through the hole (1) and are absorbed from the roots of the tree (8).

[0012]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. (A) Trees can be easily irrigated not only with hoses connected to water supply, but also with domestic wastewater, rainwater and other accumulated water, etc., and thus have a water-saving effect. (B) Since excess fertilizer, water, and the like penetrate into the tree roots in a short time without flowing to the ground, fertilization and irrigation can be performed in a smaller amount and more efficiently than in the past. (C) Since the water inlet is in the form of a net, it has an effect of preventing intrusion of dirt, soil, insects, etc., and preventing water from accumulating due to clogging of holes.
