BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a planter forming material and a planter, and more particularly to a planter forming material and a planter which can be used as a lightweight and simple planter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When planting flowers and vegetables on the roadside or on the veranda of an apartment, plastic planters are widely used. Such a conventional planter is formed firmly, is heavy and bulky, and is inferior in handleability. For this reason, even if the cultivation of flowers and vegetables is completed, the empty planter is often left on the roadside or on the veranda without being cleared. In addition, even during the cultivation of flowers, vegetables, and the like, the conventional planter has an open top surface, so that water from the cultivation soil is easily evaporated, and it is necessary to supply water again. Attempts have been made to reduce the thickness of the planter in order to improve the handleability by reducing the weight of such a conventional planter.

[0003]

By reducing the thickness and the weight of the planter, the handleability can be improved as compared with a thick-walled planter. However, in the case of a thin-walled planter, the mechanical characteristics such as its strength are problematic, so the shape and the like are limited. In addition, the bulkiness of the empty planter and the evaporability of water from the cultivated soil are not improved, many empty planters are left on the side of the road or on the veranda, and the number of times of water supply during cultivation of flowers and vegetables is still large. . Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a planter that is more easily handled than conventional planters and can reduce the frequency of water supply, and a planter forming material that can easily form the planter.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have studied to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, a planter in which cultivation soil is filled in a bag body having cultivation holes for planting flowers and vegetables on the surface side. According to the present invention, it has been found that the handleability can be improved and the water supply frequency can be reduced as compared with the conventional planter, and the present invention has been reached. That is, the present invention is a planter forming material comprising a bag formed from a film, which is used for a planter for cultivating flowers and vegetables, and a filling port for filling at least one portion of the bag with cultivation soil. It is provided that, on one surface side of the bag body, a perforation is formed in accordance with the shape of the cultivation hole so that one or a plurality of cultivation holes for planting flowers and vegetables are formed. It is a feature of the planter forming material.

[0005] The present invention is also a planter in which a cultivation soil is filled in a bag formed from a film,
On one side of the bag body, a perforation is formed according to the shape of the cultivation hole so that one or more cultivation holes for planting flowers and vegetables are formed. is there. Alternatively, the present invention is a planter in which a cultivation soil is filled in a bag formed from a film, and one or a plurality of cultivation holes for planting flowers and vegetables are provided on the surface side of the bag. In addition, the planter is characterized in that one or more drainage holes having a diameter smaller than that of the cultivation hole are formed on the back side of the bag body. In the present invention, by inserting a water supply pipe having a plurality of perforated holes formed in the peripheral surface thereof in the bag body, the cultivation soil flows out of the bag body from the cultivation holes during water supply. It is possible to prevent outflow of the soil for cultivation filled in the bag and to improve the appearance of the planter. Furthermore, the present invention provides a planter in which a bag formed from a film is filled with soil for cultivation, and one or more cultivation holes for planting flowers, vegetables, and the like are formed on the surface of the bag.
