A plurality of water spray holes 18B are formed on the peripheral surface of the water supply pipe 18 so that water sent through the water supply pipe 18 can be sprayed on the cassette 16 mounted on each block. Drain holes 14A and 17A are formed in each side wall of the cavity 14 and the protective case 17, and the cassette 1
The structure is such that the water leaking from 6 can be drained to, for example, the through hole 12 side.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the planting block B1. This embodiment shows a case where the cavities 14 juxtaposed to the concrete block 11 are formed in the vertical direction. That is,
The cavity 14 has a structure that is open to the bottom side and uses the upper surface of the stacked lower blocks as the bottom surface. In this embodiment, in order to increase the volume of the cavity 14, the cavity 14 is shaped such that the depth of the cavity 14 increases toward the center. Holes 19 are formed at both ends of the upper portion of the cavity 14, and the water supply pipe 18 is supported by the holes 19, and the water supply pipe 18 is inserted into the upper portion of the cavity 14. According to this embodiment, the cassette 16 can be inserted into the cavity 14 through the window 15 or can be removed.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of an insect inhabiting block B2 for inhabiting insects. In this embodiment, a cavity 14 penetrating in the longitudinal direction is formed on one surface of a conventional concrete block 11, and a plurality of insect exit holes 21 are formed between the cavity 14 and the outside. The holes 21 are formed with different diameters so that various insects can enter and exit.

A pipe 22 is mounted in the cavity 14. The pipe 22 has a hole 22A on the peripheral surface, and the hole 22A is aligned with the hole 21 formed in the block to communicate with the hollow portion of the pipe 22. 17 is a cavity 1 holding a pipe 22

FIG. 4 shows a practical example. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a block wall. As shown in the figure, a block wall can be constructed by mixing the planting block B1 and the insect inhabiting block B2. That is, since the water supply pipe 18 is also attached to the block B2 for insects, even if the block B2 for insects is mixed in the middle of the block B1 for planting,
The water supply path continues, and water can be supplied to any block.

In this embodiment, a water supply port 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D, 23E is provided for each stage of the block, and a structure is provided in which water can be supplied from a tap for each stage. In the example shown in FIG. 5, a water tank 24 is provided, rainwater is stored in the water tank 24 through a gutter 25, and the rainwater is supplied to each of the water supply ports 23A, 2A.
A case is shown in which water is supplied to each planting block B1 through 3B and 23C.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which water is supplied directly from a tap to a plurality of blocks. In this case, throttles 26A, 26B, 26C, 26D, 26E are provided at the water supply ports 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D, 23E of the respective stages. The diaphragms 26A to 26E decrease the diameter of the diaphragm as the steps go down. In this way, by gradually reducing the diameter of the throttles 26A to 26E toward the lower stage, it is possible to prevent water from flowing only to the lower stage due to the water pressure, and to supply water evenly to each stage. Can be configured.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, two water tanks 24 are provided.
A and 24B are provided, and for example, rainwater or the like is stored in the first water tank 24A. The water taken out of the first water tank 24A is controlled by the timer 27 to open the valve 28 each time a certain time comes, and the water flows from the first water tank 24A to the second water tank 24B. Second
The water tank 24B has a water supply pipe 18 connected to the stage of each block.
Are connected, and water is supplied from the second water tank 24B to each planting block B1.

Although the case where the cassette 16 is mounted on the entire planting block B1 described in the above embodiment has been described, the cassette 16 does not necessarily need to be sold integrally with the block. In other words, after constructing the block wall for the cassette 16, it is conceivable that the owner selects the plant to be planted according to his / her preference and also selects the plant according to the season. Therefore, the cassette 16 is generally inserted into each block later. It is considered a target. Therefore, the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is the most general.

Although the cassette 16 is described as being packed with bags of plant seeds, soil, and fertilizers made of natural fibers, only bags are packed with soil and desired seedlings are planted in the soil. You may.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the planting block B1, plants grow from the cassette 16 disposed inside the block, and the plants protrude to the outside through the window 15. The fence or the outer wall of the building can be covered with plant leaves. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the block wall 29 is covered with the plant 30 and looks as if it is a hedge, so that the concrete block wall can be brought closer to the natural environment.

Further, by adding an insect habitation block B2 in the block wall, a habitat can be given to an insect or the like. As a result, an effect can be obtained that can further approach the natural environment. In addition, since people who like flowers can enjoy cultivation of flowers and the like using the block wall, there is an advantage that cultivation of flowers can be enjoyed without taking up space.
